The house member representing Isokan 1 constituency in the Ogun State House of Assembly, Hon. Adegoke Adeyanju popularly called Awoso has refuted the allegations of abandonment of his legislative duties in the House and sponsorship of protests by the Igbogila youth against the deposed Chiefs in the Obaship tussle in the town levelled against him.

Hon. Adeyanju at a press conference in  Abeokuta said all what the deposed chiefs and the impostors said are concocted lies aimed at bringing disrepute to his name and personality and at the same time halt the wheel of the progress of the town.

"Ever since my assumption of office as the Honourable representing Isokan 1 State Constituency at the Ogun State House of Assembly, I have always been active on the floor of the house and I have been doing a lot of community engagements. I also carry out my oversight functions without biase or compromise. I am the leader of the Members of the Ogun State House of Assembly Committee on Works and Infrastructure and I have been leading the team across the state to carryout the monitoring exercise of the projects being executed by His Excellence, Prince Dapo Abiodun, CON. I have equally facilitated a lot of projects, within the available state resources across many towns within my state constituency.

Some of these live changing projects include:

- In Igbogila alone, I have facilitated a Patrol Vehicle to Igbogila Divisional Police Headquarters 

- Modern Primary Health care centre 

- 2 borehole with power generating sets 

- 3 blocks of classrooms at UNA High School, Igbogila. 

- 4 Units of modern Toilet at Baptist Day Primary School Igbogila 

- Free Health Insurance cards for over 50 people within Igbogila 

- Solar powered Street lighting system across the road within Igbogila township 

- In Ayetoro, 3 borehole with power generating set 

- Borehole at Ilakan Village with power generating set

- Distribution of Hospital equipments such as iron beds, mattresses, baby scales, adult scales, Oxygen with cylinders, blood pressure measurement kit, fancy plastic chairs across all the Primary Health Care centres in the 7 wards in Isokan state constituency among other  things" Hon. Adeyanju said. 

He said the false narratives and misrepresentation of facts put forward at a Press Briefing organised last Tuesday, November 4, 2025 by a section of duly suspended factional council of Chiefs, titled, "Igbogila Council of Chiefs Debunks Claims of Suspension", reported by some media organisations  tantamount to defamation of my character and destruction of my reputation as a law maker,  it has become quite expedient and important for me to, through this briefing, set the records straight on the devilishly concocted, malicious and wrong allegations levelled against me. 

"Let me begin by saying emphatically that, there is no any iota of truth in all what discredited chiefs said at the press briefing.  

These elements have only embarked on face-saving mission and tactics to redeem their already battered reputation. Having been unmasked and exposed for their inordinate ambition, shenanigans, corruption, domineering and uncompromising attitudes, they now stand naked and discredited in views and opinions of our people in Igbogila land, who have woken up from their slumbering and standing up against injustice" Hon. Adeyanju.

Hon. Adeyanju said the false allegation that he  was the one masterminding and sponsoring the protests held within the town and the at the Governor's office is far from the truth, adding that it's equally a lie from the pit of hell.

Putting the record straight, Hon. Adeyanju said that the truth of the matter is that the  Igbogila people have realized that the suspended chiefs are trying to draw the progress of Igbogila backward, using the vacant stool of Olu of Igbogila as an opportunity to unlawfully reinstate themselves after they had been duly suspended and deposed by the late Olú of Igbogila, Oba Ebenezer Olanloye, Osingade I. 

"Let me make it clear that before the people started staging peaceful protests, there had been series of peace meetings held and consultations made by different groups and stakeholders such as, the Igbogila Stakeholders Forum, (ISDEF) Igbogila Youths Association, Nigeria Inter-Religious Council (NIREC) Igbogila branch and other notable personalities of the town to mediate in the process of selecting a new monarch following the demise of the late Oba Ebenezer Olanloye of blessed memory" He said.

He said that the aggrieved suspended Chiefs had however embarked on nefarious activities, using court cases and unlawfully  using the police to harass and intimidate perceived opponents with a view to scuttling and halting the selection process, adding  that whenever any youth or indigene says anything on the matter, they will start threatening them with petition, using Police at FCIID Alagbon and the DSS to harass them. 

Also speaking, the son of the late monarch, Prince Olatunde Olanloye said it was a lie and demeaning statement for the disposed chiefs to say that his father was incapacitated and senile to sign the letter of their  suspension while one of them was a member of the committee set up by the late Kabiyesi to look into their nefarious activities and usurpation of the Kabiyesi's power. 

Prince Adeyanju said his father was hale and hearty then before he was called home at the ripe age of 96 years and called for intervention of the State government in the tussle to give the town a befitting Oba for progress and development to return to the town. 

A youth leader and the convener of the protests, Mrs Olusola Adebayo - Akinola said that it's the aggrieved youth who desired progress and development for Igbogila town that exhibited their fundamental human rights through peaceful protests to demand for the enthronement of a new king and stop the deposed chiefs from halting the progress of the town by their unlawful actions against the town. 

She exonerated Hon. Adeyanju from the accusations that he sponsored the protests, adding that the youth raised funds to execute their protests themselves. 

The Secretary of Nigeria Inter Religious Council (NIREC) Igbogila branch Pastor Toye Ogunkunle appealed to the State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun to please as a matter of urgency wade into the crisis before it escalate into a big problem that may engulf the town and the peace loving people of Igbogila.
