Tension is now brewing in Gbagura town of Abeokuta following alleged irregularities in the selection process of the next Agura of Gbagura.
Sources said some members of the Egiri ruling House were unhappy with the procedure adopted by the Rtd. Justice Demola Bakre, who is the head of Egiri ruling House, saying the processes were flawed with errors and irregularities.
The family members alleged that by ‘craftily initiating a 12-man committee at its meeting held on Thursday 25th April 2019, Bakre erred and was therefore removed as the head of Egiri ruling House.
In a communiqué issued at the end of an emergency meeting of Gbagura royal Princes held at Egiri ruling house chambers at Oke-Ido Gbagura, Abeokuta over the weekend and signed by representatives of the different ruling Egiri family namely Prince Adeola Adeyemi (Ijaade family) Prince Waheed Adeosun (Egiri family Secretary)Prince Sufian Soetan (Jamolu)Prince Adam Opeloyeru (Abolade family)and Imam Jamiu Ogunwolu (Ijaade family) the Egiri ruling house, noted the alleged autocratic tendencies of Bakre and therefore removed him as the head of the family.
“To prevent break down of law and order, we wish to draw the attention of the Ogun state government and the good indigenes of Gbagura Abeokuta to the present ugly situation”.
“Having consulted with a larger family of this unhealthy development, the Egiri ruling house, therefore, issued a three-page communiqué stating the state of things and the decisions of the ruling Egiri family with nine points that included the steps of Justice Ademola Bakre (rtd.), who used his position as the head of Egiri ruling house to stage-manage the selection process in all manners contrary to the laid down procedure”.
The communique also accused “Justice Ademola Bakre of organizing a ritual consultation of ‘ifa’ oracle to effect his aberrant decision of selecting one Prince Saburi Babajide Bakre a nephew of his being the son of his senior brother among others”.
The Egiri ruling house in the communiqué also declared that Justice Ademola Bakre (rtd.) has been removed as the head of Egiri ruling house with immediate effect”.
