He also acknowledged the Isinkan people, home and abroad, for their support and affection. The Iralepo assured them of significant progress and development under his unstoppable leadership.

It would be recalled that the Deji of Akure Kingdom, Oba (Dr) Aladetoyinbo Ogunlade Aladelusi, Odundun II, CFR, officially presented High Chief Gbenga Henry Adeyeye with a certificate as the new Iralepo of Isinkan Quarters, Akure, recently, following the removal of the former Iralepo, Mr Gbenga Ojo.

Meanwhile, the Deji's decision is based on a court ruling, emphasising the need for adherence to legal processes and respect for traditional leadership transitions.
