The Soun of Ogbomoso, Oba Jimoh Oyewumi Ajagungbade III has distanced himself from a purported rejection of Governor Seyi Makinde’s pledge to renovate his palace after the invasion by angry protesters.
In a statement made available to OYOMIND.COM.NG, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr. Taiwo Adisa who spoke with Soun said that the monarch did not authorise the letter in circulation.
“If your boss sees any such letter, he should ignore it, because I didn’t ask anyone to write such a letter,” Adisa quoted the Soun as saying.
The governor’s media aide further said: “I’ve spoken to His Royal Majesty, the Soun of Ogbomoso, Oba Oyewumi Ajagungbade III, who totally denounced the said letter and its contents.
“The Soun said that he never authorised anyone to issue a letter on his behalf and that if any such letter surfaces, some persons must have forged his signature.
“The Soun said he wholeheartedly welcomes the intervention of Governor Seyi Makinde in the plan to fix the palace and all the damaged items.”
