Prince Olugbenga Ojo has been chosen by the Ondo State Executive Council to become the next oba of Iralepo Isinkan in the state’s Akure South Local Government area.
The consent is stated in a letter that Princess Oladunni Odu, the secretary to the Ondo State government, signed on Friday in Akure.
The inhabitants of Isinkan, however, have praised Ojo’s selection as the new traditional leader of the town, referring to it as “a round peg in a round whole.”
