“This is as a result of recent legal proceedings, specifically the dismissal of Suit Number HER/10/23 by the High Court of Oyo State on October 22.
“In response to the circumstances surrounding the succession, the Laribikusi ruling quarters was unable to submit candidates within the stipulated timeframe as stipulated in Section 15(1) of the Chiefs Law Cap 28 of Oyo State.
“Consequently, after due consideration, the esteemed discretion of the governor facilitated the Akalako ruling house to be recognised as the next ruling quarters to nominate candidates.”
Oyelade added that after a thorough selection process, the kingmakers of Eruwa convened and unanimously selected Adegbola from the Akalako ruling house as the candidate to fill the vacant stool.
