Osun monarchs protest poor electricity supply

No fewer than 15 traditional rulers from
four local government areas of Osun State
stormed the office of Ibadan Electricity
Distribution Company in Osogbo, to
protest poor supply of electricity in their
domains.
According to a statement made available
to our correspondent in Osogbo on
Wednesday, the monarchs took the
decision following threats of  violence
from some of their subjects over the
epileptic supply of electricity in their
communities.
The traditional rulers, who were led by
the Olufi of Gbongan, Oba Adetoyese
Odugbemi, had Apetumodu of
Ipetumodu, Oba James  Adegoke, Akire of
Ikire, Oba Olatunde Falabi; , Onikoyi of
Ikoyi, Oba Yisau  Otunla; Olumoro of
Moro, Oba Ezekiel  Oyeniyi; Salu of
Edunabon, Oba Elijah Oyelade; Alayegun
of Odeomu, Oba Lamidi Oke, among
others.
The traditional rulers were said to have
told the IBEDC Regional Technical
Manager for Osogbo,  Mr. Salami Waheed,
who attended to them that they would
not leave the office unless they were
given an assurance to take to their
aggrieved subjects.
