The Osun State Government has approved the appointment of Prince Ademola Stephen Kayode Makinde as the new Owa of Igbajo.
Igbajo town is located in Boluwaduro local government council areas of the state.
According to a statement signed by Kolapo Alimi, the Osun State Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, the appointment was approved at the meeting of the State Executive Council on Monday.
The statement also revealed that the nomination which has been forwarded to the Boluwaduro local government was approved in line with due process, chieftaincy law and tradition.
The kingmakers had earlier approved Dr Makinde in line with chieftaincy laws and tradition.
"Governor Ademola Adeleke at the Executive Meeting congratulated the new Owa of Igbajo and tasked him to heal the wounds of the selection process by ensuring inclusive traditional governance.
“I congratulate the new Owa of Igbajo. I urge him to embark on reconciliation and restore the dignity and integrity of the traditional institution."
The nomination of Dr Makinde as Owa is coming following the recommendation of a White Paper in January which directed a fresh selection process.
In November 2022, Adegboyega Famodun, the former Osun chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, was appointed by the Adegboyega Oyetola administration.
On assumption of office, Governor Ademola Adeleke, however, suspended the processes through an Executive Order.
