Embattled Deji Has Bought His Way Out Of Akure Crisis

I hope to make this article the last contribution I want to make from this end on the simmering crisis between this Deji and his Council of Chiefs. If it sounds to repetitive and long, it is so because it encapsules many of the points I have made, time and again, on my serial articles on the Deji as an Institution ever before this crisis broke out. This article represents a comparative analysis of all the issues at stake in this crisis that very many of our chiefs are either too embarrassed or scared to publicly admit. They are all serious problems that should not be swept under the carpet. in the best interest of our city and our people across the board.
If you no longer hear or read any headline news about the Deji’s illegal and premature dethronement by the Akure Council of Chiefs, it is because “power has changed hands” to borrow a cliché from the General Overseer of the Redeemed Church of God, the one and only Enoch Adejare Adeboye. In the Deji’s case, if you are privy to all I know about the scandalous crisis, you can truly conclude as I have, based on empirical research and objective investigation that “money has not only changed hands in Akure” It has suddenly created an uneasy lull in the raging crisis for now..
While I have serious reservations about how the settlement had been engineered, sealed and delivered by no less a personality than the State Governor himself playing the middle man between the embattled Deji and his chiefs, all in the name of forestalling a crisis that could potentially lead to the declaration of a state of emergency in the State which could possibly give back to the PDP a fraudulent victory they could not get in the tribunal or the Appeal Court. Those who argue there could be violence and civil disobedience if the Deji were removed simply did not appreciate or understand that people could only do that in defense of a popular Deji who is perceived to be on their side. Nobody should be fooled about that..

This is more than insane. We are expecting the king to behaviour. let's assume that such incident brought to the palace how can he judge such cases when he can't even produce good example as a King. This is unaccepted behaviours. The authority should act in favour of Akure community and this should be a warning to whoever might come after. God bless Akure.
