SOUN AXES SENATOR ADESEUN, STRIPS MAYEGUN TITLE IN INDEFINITE SUSPENSION DRAMA

 





The Palace of the Soun of Ogbomosoland has announced the indefinite suspension of Senator Hamzat Ayoade Adeseun from his chieftaincy title as Mayegun of Ogbomosoland, citing alleged misconduct and actions considered inconsistent with the expectations of the office.

The decision was conveyed in an official letter issued on behalf of His Imperial Majesty, Oba Ghandi Afolabi Olaoye, and signed by the Palace Secretary, Toyin Ajamu.

According to the statement, the suspension followed what the Palace described as “sustained acts of insubordination, wilful disregard, and persistent disrespect” toward the Palace and the traditional institution of the Soun.

The Palace noted that the senator’s conduct, observed over a period of time, had become a matter of concern and was deemed incompatible with the dignity and responsibilities attached to the Mayegun title.

“As a chief of this Palace, your actions have fallen short of the standards expected and have demonstrated a disregard for the authority, traditions, and sanctity of the institution,” the statement read in part.

The suspension takes immediate effect, and the senator has been directed to cease presenting himself as the Mayegun of Ogbomosoland in all forms, including at public events, official functions, and across media platforms.

Ogbomoso has a long-standing traditional structure in which chieftaincy titles carry significant cultural and social responsibilities. Analysts say the development underscores the continued influence of traditional institutions in maintaining discipline among title holders.

As of the time of filing this report, Senator Adeseun had not issued any public response regarding the suspension.

The Palace expressed expectation of full compliance with the directive, emphasizing the need to uphold the integrity and authority of the traditional institution.
