As I appreciate their efforts in that direction, they forget that governance is from grassroots, and the people directly involved are the Baale Oko Ilu and the Kabiesi. Do you know how people troupes to Baale and Kabiesi Palaces for one assistance or the other. How do you compensate us, the Political uses four or eight years and wants the traditional rullers to be worshipping them. Please let do something about this, Both Baale and Kabiesi renuration be well spell out. Ori Ade a Gbe wa o, OGUN STATE are pace setters, let do it again to put our tradition in safe hands not land grabbers and 419. God bless you all!!!
