- BOT and Elders of Epe Ogunmodede Club disown General Secretary’s unauthorized statement.
- Club expresses commitment to community’s monarch selection and cultural unity.
- BOT urges collective responsibility and respect for tradition.
The Board of Trustees (BOT) and Elders of the prestigious Epe Ogunmodede Club have publicly disassociated themselves from a recent statement allegedly issued by the Club’s General Secretary, Mr. Bayo Saliu-Okulu, which claimed that the Club was not aligned with the ongoing selection of a new monarch in the Eko Epe community.
Ekohotblog gathers that in an official press release signed by Alhaji (Chief) Alade Saliu-Okulu on behalf of the BOT, the leadership expressed shock at the statement, describing it as unauthorized, misleading, and not reflective of the official position of the Club’s governing body or its general membership.

“The attention of the Board of Trustees and Elders of Epe Ogunmodede Club has been drawn to a statement allegedly issued by Mr. Bayo Saliu-Okulu, dissociating the Club from the ongoing selection of a new monarch for our community,” the statement read. “We categorically state that neither the BOT, the Elders, nor the general body of members was consulted or gave approval for such a divisive and misleading declaration.”
The BOT emphasized that as a legally registered organization with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), the Club is guided by structure, collective responsibility, and a deep commitment to community traditions and cultural harmony.
“It is highly embarrassing and disappointing that a statement with such far-reaching implications on the integrity and public image of both the Eko Epe community and Epe Ogunmodede Club was made without prior discussion at plenary, nor any form of consultation with the BOT or members at large,” Chief Alade Saliu-Okulu stated.

Reaffirming the Club’s alignment with the broader interests of the Eko Epe community, the BOT made clear its support for the traditional processes and leadership structures that have long governed the town.
“We wish to clearly state that the Epe Ogunmodede Club stands with the decisions of our larger community, especially in matters that promote justice, fairness, and equity,” the BOT affirmed. “We are deeply committed to unity, peace, and the cultural values that bind us all.”
