EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Oyo State Governor, Engineer Seyi Makinde, has reportedly approved the installation of 48 chieftaincy title holders, including three Royal Highnesses, one coronet-wearing Oba, and 44 Baales in various local governments of the state.
The development was confirmed in a statement issued on Friday by the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters, Mr Olusegun Olayiwola.
The approval was granted by the governor following a memo raised by the Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters.
According to Olayiwola, the approval became imperative following the vacancies created in the various stools as they affected each local government as a result of the demise of the previous holders of the respective titles.
He added that the administrative processes of filling the 48 chieftaincy titles had been concluded in accordance with the provision of the Chiefs Law of Oyo State, Cap.28 Section 15 (a&b) and that there was no court case or restraining order on any of the approved chieftaincy titles.
