Sequel to my posting on appeal for peace and unity in Ijesaland made in the evening of Sunday, 29th December 2024 shortly after the official certification of our Imperial Majesty Oba Clement Adesuyi Haastrup, the Ajimoko III and subsequent pleading for the commencement of reconciliatory measures in order to assist our Imperial Majesty settle down for business in earnest, I took the initiative to complement the reconciliatory process.
Yesterday, Monday 30th December 2024, I reached out to the Head of Bilaro Oluodo Ruling House, Olumelu of Imelu-Ijesa, Loja Bode Owofade to request and obtained the names and contact details of the nine Contestants who officially obtained Expression of Interest forms from the Ilesa West Local Government and consequently listed and contested in the Owa’s stool election of Friday, 27th December 2024 as follows:
1. HRH Oba Dr Jacob Adetayo Haastrup
2. Prince Adeniyi Olagunju Haastrup
3. Prince Pastor Adebayo Adeyokunnu
4. HIM Oba Clement Adesuyi Haastrup
5. Prince Fredrick Adedayo Haastrup
6. Prince (Col) Adediran Olubunmi Obembe
7. Prince Ademola Otekunrin Haastrup
8. Prince Dr Michael Adesanya Haastrup
9. Prince Samuel Adebambo Haastrup
Between yesterday afternoon and today, telephone calls were put to them with the following results :
1. HRH Oba Dr Jacob Adetayo Haastrup: He has accepted to concede in good faith and followed up with a Congratulatory message to His Imperial Majesty
2. Prince Adeniyi Olagunju Haastrup: He has accepted to concede in good faith.
3. Prince Pastor Adebayo Adeyokunnu: He has accepted to concede in good faith. He further promised to send a Congratulatory message to His Imperial Majesty later today as our conversation took place in the late night hours at his USA location. Furthermore, he assured me that he would forward his Development Manifesto to His Imperial Majesty for the consideration of His Imperial Majesty in his Development Blueprint for Ijesaland.
4. His Imperial Majesty Oba Clement Adesuyi Haastrup: He was not contacted being the beneficiary
5. Prince Fredrick Adedayo Haastrup: He has accepted to concede in good faith and he has followed up on this promise with a publicly released Congratulatory message today to His Imperial Majesty
6. Prince (Col) Adediran Olubunmi Obembe: He has accepted to concede in good faith.
7. Prince Ademola Otekunrin Haastrup: He has accepted to concede in good faith and he has followed up on this promise with a publicly released Congratulatory message today to His Imperial Majesty.
8. Prince Dr Michael Adesanya Haastrup: He has accepted to concede and he has followed up on this promise with a publicly released Congratulatory message today to His Imperial Majesty.
9. Prince Samuel Adebambo Haastrup: His given telephone number was not reachable.
Thereafter, I reached out to the Head of Ofokutu Royal Family who was also a Contestant but did not obtain the Expression of Interest form from the Local Government, Prof Stephen Adebowale Adeyemi, CON.
My appeal to him bothers on the following:
1. To drop the previous litigation and the likely impending litigations against the Bilaro Ruling House, His Imperial Majesty, and the State Government.
2. To concede and accept the current status quo.
He assuredly expressed his belief in the continuous peace, unity, and development of Ijesaland as a Stakeholder.
Even though certain litigation proceeding on the Head of Bilaro Oluodo Ruling House has been dropped but further reconciliation consultation remains a work in progress!
May I use this opportunity to further appeal to other candidates who may not have obtained Local Government forms to please in the spirit of the approaching new year 2025 forgive of whatever inadequacies that they might have experienced and for the sake of our hard earned peace and unity in Ijesaland and the need to provide an enabling environment for sustainable growth and development of Ijesaland.
Compliments of the season to us all in Ijesaland!
Wishing us all a most fulfilling and rewarding year 2025 IJMN.
Asiwaju Olayinka Fasuyi,
The Asiwaju Of Ijesaland,
