Gov Adeleke  approves appointment of Haastrup as new Owa Obokun of Ijesha land

Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has  given approval for the  appointment of Prince Adesuyi Haastrup as the new Owa Obokun Adimula of Ijeshaland.

The governor also approved the appointment of Prince Johnson Adekanmi Abikoye as the Asaoni of Ora Igbomina.

A  release by the Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Kolapo Alimi, obtained in Osogbo, on Friday, stated that “the approval of the two monarchs was ratified and approved during the seating of the Osun State Executive Council Meeting,” presided over by Adeleke on Friday.

Earlier, the Bilaro Oluodo Ruling House announced the emergence of Haastrup as the Owa-elect, having polled majority votes when the kingmakers voted.

It was  learnt that the meeting where Haastrup emerged was at the premises of Ilesa West Local Government Secretariat.

Alimi, in his statement, further stated that  the “appointment of Prince Haastrup as the new Owa-elect was  on the heels of  the demise of the immediate past Owa Obokun Adimula of Ijesha land, Oba ( Dr) Gabriel Adekunle Aromolaran II on September 11, 2024, while that of Prince Abikoye as the new Asaoni of Ora Igbomina followed the demise of Oba Tinuoye Atolagbe on the 19th of November, 2023.”

The commissioner also said that Adeleke, while congratulating the two newly approved monarchs,  urged indigenes of the two towns to cooperate with their new traditional rulers, particularly in allowing peace and unity to take centre stage.
