THE Chairman, Oshodi-Tapa Chieftaincy Family, Maroof-deen Oshodi, has said no one has been endorsed to become the Oba of Oshodi.
Maroof-deen made this known yesterday while addressing the media alongside the head of the royal family, Surakat Oshodi, and other stakeholders, including one Gboyega Oshodi.
He noted that Akinsanya had no right to the throne because he was not a member of the family.
He said, “Oshodi-Tapa Chieftaincy Family is the owner and controller of Oshodi town in the Oshodi Isolo Local Government Area. We have not endorsed anybody and have not even called for candidature.
“As far as we are concerned, we call it a rumour because Musiliu Akinsanya, aka MC Olumo, who is being rumoured to want to be Oba of Oshodi, is not a member of the Oshodi-Tapa Chieftaincy Family and has no right to the stool of Oshodi town.”
Maroof-deen stated that the family had instituted a case in court, published an advertorial, and written to the government regarding attempts to usurp its authority to the stool.
An executive member of the family leadership, Dada Ashafa, said if “the social media rumour concerning MC Olumo, flies unchallenged, it becomes authentic and that explains why this family is reacting.”
