Bola Tinubu Aide-De-Camp, (ADC), Nurudeen Yusuf, has been selected as the new Elemona of Ilemona Land in Oyun local government of Kwara State, sparking several rejections from the kingmaker and royal families.
His appointment followed the demise of his father, late Oba Yusuf Omokanye Oyekanmi, the former Elemona, in May.
According to TheGuardian, some members of the royal families are protesting the appointment of the president’s aide.

They claimed that they were excluded from the selection process while also insisting that they were also entitled to the vacant seat.
A member of the royal families, Prince Afeez Adewale of the Shittu ruling house, in a statement made available to The Guardian on Friday, said the appointment of Yusuf is an exploitation of his family’s right to become the next King of Ilẹmọna town.He explained that two ruling lineages exist in Ilemona town, namely the Arolu ruling house and the Ogobi family.
He alleged that other members of the royal family except that of the president’s aide were not involved in the nomination process, urging the government to do thorough investigation on the matter to avoid Injustice.
He stated that all the listed ruling families both in Arolu and Ogobi are not involved in the nomination of the candidate except that of the late Yusuf Omokanye only. “The process is already compromised, and it violated the selection process”, He added.
However, Adewale said out of four kingmakers, three seats are vacant till today. I wonder where he singlehandedly started his selection process.
