The Ekiti State Government has nullified the installation of a traditional chief in a community, citing procedural irregularities in the selection process. This decision was announced in a statement by the Ministry of Local Government, Chieftaincy, and Rural Development.
According to the ministry, the nullification was necessitated by complaints from stakeholders and community members regarding non-compliance with established customs and traditions. The government directed the community to initiate a fresh and transparent selection process, ensuring fairness and adherence to due process.
The administration emphasized its commitment to upholding the integrity of traditional institutions in Ekiti State while urging all parties involved to cooperate in the interest of peace and unity. The government also assured citizens that it would continue to safeguard the sanctity of traditional practices across the state.
