Oke Ogun, Oyo Zone, Once Governed Oyo State, Adeduntan Replies Ayo Adeseun, Others
..calls for re-introduction of history in schools
The OSI-BASORUN OF IBADAN LAND-PRINCE(DR) AZEEZ ADEWOLU POPOOLA GBADEGESIN DARANIJO ADEDUNTAN-ONISILE,a great grandson of the 25th ALAFIN OF OYO EMPIRE -ALAFIN
OGBOLU AKAJEGESIN AKAJEWOLE GBAGIDA ONISILE (ATINGISI) house has advised and admonished political ethnic rabble rousers to stop disturbing
Public peace on the issue
Of zoning of oyo 2027 GOVERNORSHIP race to OYO NORTH,or any other part of OYO STATE ,but not Ibadan land.
Adeduntan in a release on Monday said the demand is largely due to selfish and self centered political reasons are not based on historical facts as evidenced below.
First OYO state ethnicity is interwoven and interconnected.
The OLUPOYI chieftaincy ruling house of OJA OBA IBADAN LAND where OSI BASORUN ADEDUNTAN was born,is a descendant of ALAFIN ONISILE,same with ONILALA OF LANLATE,in Ibarapa,same with ONIBUSE OF OTU LAND IN OKE OGUN.
OBA RASHEED ADEWOLU LADOJA a former GOVERNOR of OYO state -his forefathers originated in IPO IGBETI in Olorunsogo local GOVERNMENT ,before they migrated to ISALE OSI BORN PHOTO AREA of IBADAN LAND.
The late GOVERNOR ISIAKA AJIMOBI -a former GOVERNOR OF OYO state -his great grandfather was ALAFIN AGBOLUAJE -a former ALAFIN OF OYO EMPIRE.
So OYO and OKE Ogun zones had served as oyo state GOVERNORS before by historical facts.-same with Ogbomoso.
The late ADEBAYO AKALA former oyo state GOVERNOR hailed from OGBOMOSO land.
While Osi Basorun ADEDUNTAN believes In Justice,fairness,and equity,merit must not be sacrificed for ethnic or zonal jingoism .
OYO state is a unique state for we are interwoven and interconnected and a pace setter.
Who OYO state needs as GOVERNOR is a centrist regardless of where he comes from(that will take all the seven zones of Oyo state-Ibadan urban,Ibadan less city,Ibarapa,OYO,
Ogbomoso,OKE OGUN 1,OKE OGUN 2 ) as his consitituencies,and spread development among all.
The same way some unenligtened politicians are dead wrong on asking for age limitations based on chronological age rather than physiological age,similarly those who are clamoring that oyo state GOVERNORSHIP should exclude IBADAN sons and daughters in 2027 are historically wrong.
Osi Basorun ADEDUNTAN -a revered HARVARD TRAINED BOARD CERTIFIED international cardiovascular surgeon advised and Counseled politicians who are misleading the public on the issue of age limitations are medically misguided,same way those clamoring for exclusion of IBADAN indigenes are historically misguided and should go and read about the OYOS.-our culture and history.-JOHNSON and PROFESSOR AJAYI et Al.
They should stop muddling the political space of oyo state for personal rather than unfounded ethnic political disadvantage.
The Federal GOVERNMENT should as a matter of urgency reintroduce history back to schools ,as a guide to the past,for a nation state that forgets its origin will soon fade away.
Oyo state is a pace setting state where the best must emerge in any political contest .
Osi Basorun ADEDUNTAN advised all political parties when the time comes;in Oyo state to conduct fair,free,and credible primaries ,so the best candidates can emerge regardless of age,zones,ethnicity to ensure justice,fairness and equity,but not for ethnic jingoism and undue self advantage that are not based on historical facts.
