Ondo Monarchs Issue 21-Day Ultimatum to Herdsmen to Vacate their Lands

Ondo Monarchs Issue 21-Day Ultimatum to Herdsmen to Vacate their Lands



The people of Idoani, Idogun, Imeri and Afo in Ose local government area of Ondo State have issued a 21-day ultimatum to Fulani herdsmen to vacate their farmlands with effect from July 22nd.


In a communiqué jointly signed by Alani of Idoani, Oba Olufemi Olutoye,  Onidogun, Oba Moses Bakare, Onimeri, Oba Babatunde Adeniran and Alafo, Oba Adegoke Egunjobi, the royal fathers said their people could no longer tolerate the spate of kidnapping, killing , raping of their wives and daughters by the herders.


The royal fathers further expressed worries over the possibility of violent clashes and reprisals between the farmers and herders following the incessant destruction of cash crops by the Fulani herdsmen adding that, “the ultimatum remains the last option to avoid breakdown of law & order as the Fulanis have rebuffed all entreaties to conduct themselves within the confines of the law.” 


According to the five paragraph Communiqué, the fear of frequent unprovoked attacks by the Fulanis have forced many farmers to abandon their means of livelihood leading to economic meltdown in the area as the farmers could no longer meet their daily obligations. 


While describing as an affront to Yoruba race the  disturbing news that Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria had allegedly set up vigilante group in Ondo state, the four royal fathers vowed not to allow any part of the area to be used for RUGA  in whatever guise.


They therefore called on the residents of the area to be vigilant and report any suspicious movement to the law enforcement agencies for appropriate action.

October 25, 2025 A former governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State, Mrs. Atinuke Oluremi Omolayo (née Okeya), who was duly screened and cleared by the party’s National Screening Committee, has demonstrated uncommon party loyalty by stepping down for Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji and actively participating in the delegate congress held today in her Eporo Ward, Emure Local Government Area. Mrs. Omolayo, who was warmly received with an Ọ̀wọ̀ song by jubilant party members, expressed appreciation to her ward for the support they gave her when she initially declared her intention to contest for governor.

Ignore Rumours: APC Confirms Governor Oyebanji’s Name to Be Submitted to INEC on January 16, 2026

…As APC Spokesperson Reiterates Official Candidate List Ahead of Publication The APC Integrity Caucus has moved to dismiss what it describes as a reckless and senseless rumour being circulated by a few individuals posing as party members. The gossip, they said, claims that the party “does not intend to submit” the name of Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). In a statement released on Thursday, November 14, 2025, the caucus said such claims are baseless and should be ignored by every well-meaning member of the public. “Since the successful conduct of our governorship primary on October 27 and the ratification by authorised delegates on October 29, some mischief makers have been whispering that the party will not submit Governor Oyebanji’s name to INEC. This is completely false,” the statement read. The caucus emphasized that the APC operates according to a clearly defined timetable, which specifies the dates for submissio...
