A new regent, Princes Adetutu Adesida
Ojei was yesterday installed to fill the stool of the Deji of Akure which
became vacant on December 1, this year.
The battering of late Bolanle by the
deposed monarch on May 30, 2010, lead to his removal and banishment on June 10,
2010 by the state government. However, the occupier of the stool that was
vacant on December 1, the late Oba Adebiyi Adesida, joined his ancestors after
reigning for three years and three months.
Princes Ojei, a pharmacist based in
the United Kingdom, is the first female child of the late Oba Adesida.
Speaking with newsmen after her
installation, the regent said it was a privilege to step into her father’s
shoes. She, however, promised to continue where her father stopped in his
effort to bring development to the town.
The regent said it was an open secret
that the development witnessed during her father short reign is unprecedented
in the history of the town.
Development to Akureland - She said:
“I promise that during my short reign I will bring further development to
Akureland. We are all witnesses to what happened during my father’s reign.
“Akureland witnessed unprecedented
development and I will, by the special grace of God, do more.
She pleaded with the kingmakers to seek
the face of God in their selection of a new oba for the town.
