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.
