Rasaq Ibrahim, Ado-Ekiti
AGUNSOYE Ruling House of Imesi-Ekiti, Ekiti State has disowned the Onimesi-elect, Mr. Festus Olatunde, claiming he is not a member of the ruling house.
Addressing reporters on Tuesday in Ado-Ekiti, the Head of the ruling house, Prince Adu Fasunlade, warned Olatunde, who he described as a ‘self-acclaimed prince’, to stop parading himself as a member of the family.
He said that he was not qualified to be the monarch.

Fasunlade said that the selection process, which produced Olatunde as the Oba-elect under the supervision of the ’politically-appointed’ warrant chiefs, was fraudulent and contravened the operational Ekiti State Chieftaincy Laws.
He added that the succession procedure regarding the next monarch was spelt out and anything contrary to the aged-long custom and tradition of Imesi-Ekiti would be unacceptable.
