Foremost Islamic cleric, Sheikh Kamaldeen Olohungbebe in one of his outings this Ramadan in Ota admonishes the Olota in-Council not to waste much time before installing new Olota of Ota.

While delivering his lectures at Owoniwura Mosque, Oke-Ijana, Ota, Ogun State, the soft-spoken Sheikh said the need to install a new Olota of Ota as soon as possible is very important as the ancient Awori kingdom is currently facing series of political marginalization, external and illegal invasion of its territory.

“There should be no time wasting for the Olota-in-Council in presenting the new Olota of Ota as we are currently being hit from all angles by external political oppression.

“There is no human on the corridors of political power to protect Awori’s interest but we have Allah who will fight against any individual who has the intention or plans to reduce Ota and its people to nothingness.”

He also added that ‘’the people of Ota are being repaid through deliberate political marginalization for their kindness, warm reception, accommodation and love for strangers”

He claimed that ''over three centuries, the Aworis have been accommodating and permitting people of different clans to settle down across their vast territory.''

He described the Aworis as the most accommodating ethnic and lovers of strangers in the "entire West African coast.''

Sheikh Kamaldeen also revealed that lack of unity among the natives of Awori have for years been their undoing and main reason their guests have over the years been able to penetrate and laying claims on certain portions of Awori land.

He said, “this is the time we need to come together as one, we must bury our political and religious differences and form a formidable resistance against all forms of political marginalization and oppression.’’

He further advised that the Olota-in-Council should as a matter of urgency present a credible Crown Prince among the lots jostling for the exalted royal seat.

“It is also necessary for our Olota-in-Council to note the importance of electing a credible Prince as the next Olota.

‘’At this period in the history of our land, Ota need a fearless, intelligent, and respectable oba who will be proactive in all fronts.

“Like the late Oba Oyede, we want a crown prince that is prepared and ready to emancipate the Awori nation from the jaws of traitors and ambitious political oppressors.’’ He stated.

Sheikh Olohungbebe described the immediate past and late Olota of Ota, Oba Moshood Alani Oyede as ''a kind hearted man who selflessly ruled Ota, sacrificing his entire life for the ancient Awori town’s development.''

Sheikh Kamaldeen Olohungbebe is one of the sons of late Sheikh of Africa, Sheikh Ibrahim Alabi Olohungbebe.

It was gathered that the eloquent Sheikh takes after his father’s prowess in Islamic teachings and humanitarian activities.

However, it would be recall that there have been reported cases of alleged imposition of coronet obas and baales on some parts of Awori land by the Olowu of Owu, Abeokuta.

The Olota's palace had insisted all the alleged imposed obas and baales are illegal.

Further digs by our reporters revealed that some powerful individuals have been behind the alleged attempt to encroach some parts of Ota.
