A traditional ruler in Osun State, Oloyan, has appealed to Governor Ademola Adeleke to pay the salaries of 17 monarchs and 440 chiefs in Odo-Otin Local Government Area, alleging that they have gone seven months without receiving their entitlements.
In a video circulating online, the monarch lamented the hardship caused by the alleged delay and called on the governor to intervene.
“Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke, we the kings are hungry. You’re starving us, the kings, and also the chiefs. Pay us our salaries; you’ve not paid us for seven months,” he said.
Oloyan further claimed that none of the 17 monarchs and 440 chiefs in the local government had been paid during the period. He also appealed to President Bola Tinubu to intervene, but maintained that the president had done what was expected of him and that the matter should be addressed by the Osun State Government.
“Please, help us beg the Osun State Government, Nurudeen Jackson Ademola Adeleke, to pay our salaries,” he added.
