Deji of Akure condemns placement of fetish objects in APC secreteriat

Oba Ogunlade Aladetoyinbo, the Deji of Akure has condemned the placing of fetish objects at the Secretariat of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Akure on Monday morning. This is contained in a statement issued by Mr Michael Adeyeye, the Chief Press Secretary to the Deji on Monday. He condemned the attitude of those who sealed the entrance of the party secretariat with palm fronds which is the traditional means of sealing-off premises in Akureland. “The sacrilegious act carried out at the Ondo State Secretariat of the All Progressive Congress early this morning is condemned in its totality. “We want to state that carrying out traditional sealing-off of premises remains the prerogative of the palace. “The Deji of Akure remains non-partisan and a father to all political aspirants and never authorised such. “The palace is apolitical and therefore should not be dragged into the internal wrangling of any party,’’ Adeyeye said. According to him, Oba Ogunlade frowned at the attitude and wished to inform the general public that such an act did not emanate from the palace as any attempt to desecrate the tradition will be vehemently rebuffed. The palace spokesman explained that those who carried out the act were not aware of the cultural and traditional implications of the action. He said that the palace had sent its emissaries to carry out a thorough investigation of the matter and was confident that the culprits would be apprehended in no distant time. Adeyeye also called on the APC and security agencies to unravel the circumstances behind the abominable act and bring to book those behind the sacrilegious act so as to serve as deterrent. The fetish object was placed at the locked gate of the APC secretariat and was removed by some party members under watch of security operatives but the office was yet to be opened as at the time of this report.

JOURNAL OF A JOURNALIST NEXT DOOR ... September 27th, 2024... Calm before the Storm!

Friday was one of those rare, calm days in my world of Corporate Communications. It’s not often that I get a day with fewer meetings, but when it happens, I know it’s the perfect opportunity to catch up on all the news stories waiting to be polished and published. With the university’s biggest event just around the corner, this quiet felt like the calm before the storm. The first half of the day was spent at my desk, immersed in edits. It’s funny how even on a less busy day, the work piles up in different forms. A colleague sent over a draft press release that needed sharpening, while another forwarded an article that just didn’t have the right tone yet. The joy, though, is in refining those pieces—finding the right words that will capture the essence of the university's achievements. As the minutes rolled by, I ticked off one task after another, sipping soda and enjoying the steady hum of a day. In the back of my mind, I knew this won’t last long—the preparations for the upcomi...
