Ijebu Ode, Ogun State – Na wa o! The Adeyemi ruling house don burst out like pot of beans wey dem overboil as dem dey challenge their exclusion from the Anikilaya ruling house. This Anikilaya ruling house na one of the main actors wey fit produce candidates for the coveted Awujale stool, after the late Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona join im ancestors last month. E be like say some pipo wan rewrite history sha.
Last Sunday, the family come publish statement wey dem sign with Adedeji Ademola Adeyemi, wey clearly talk say some members of the Anikilaya ruling house no wan make Adeyemi name show for their family history. E be like dem forget say Adeyemi na the senior crown prince of the late Oba Anikilaya Saagun, while Ogbagba and Ademolu na him two junior brothers. (No be small family wahala we get here o!)
Prince Ademola Aiyegbajeje Adeyemi even turn down the Awujale offer after the last Oba Daniel Adesanya, Gbelegbuwa II, die for 1959. Na him own immediate brother, Prince Rafiu Adetona Adeleke, wey be late Oba SK Adetona papa, come contest and carry Sikiru Kayode Adetona go meet kingmakers wey end up crowning am Awujale for 1960. Talk about family drama!
The Adeyemi ruling house no gree accept the claim say some members of their family wey no sabi their roots dey remove Adeyemis as the first son, instead, dem give the crown to the second-born and even add two pipo wey no be part of the family to the royal lineage. Wetin be this? Na soap opera?
According to Adeyemi, dem reject the inclusion of Mabadeje, Adekoya Ofirigidi, and Adeire Adeewu, wey dey claim say dem be children of the late Oba Anikilaya Saagun Figbajoye wey reign in 1821. E be like say dem dey drag name where dem no belong. (Talk about family business, no be your mate!)
At the end of the day, the Adeyemi ruling house don make am clear say dem be the real descendants of Adeyemi Anikilaya, the first son of the reigning Oba wey don live long ago. Dem implore everybody to no mind those wey dey spread false claims for media. Na true wahala wey dem get o!
