The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi is currently holding a meeting with the Ekiti first class Obas (Pelupelus) to resolve the crisis between the Governor Kayode Fayemi and some monarchs.
A source said Fayemi and the aggrieved monarchs had visited the Ooni at separate times to brief him on the crisis and reasons for their actions. It was also learnt that Oba Ogunwusi had already offered possible solutions to the impasse which both sides respected.
The council was thrown into leadership crisis last August when Governor Fayemi allegedly facilitated the Alawe of Ilawe-Ekiti, Oba Adebanji Alabi, in becoming chairman of the Ekiti Council of Traditional rulers.
This made 16 of the leading members shun council meetings and government activities as they posited that the Alawe is not qualified to chairman the council.
In his capacity as the natural head of the entire Oduduwa race worldwide, Arole Oodua Olofin Adimula and Co-Chairman, National Council of Traditional Rulers of Nigeria(NCTRN) was said to have arrived the Palace of Ewi of Ado-Ekiti, where the meeting is ongoing.
He is expected to meet with the Governor thereafter as all hands are on deck to find solutions to the needless crisis.
