Unilorin PRO Official Nominated as Akogun of Oke-Ode land Amid Succession Process in Kwara

Date: 2025-06-09

The Akogun Chieftaincy Family Forum (ACFF) of Oke-Ode in Ifelodun Local Government Area (LGA), Kwara State, has unanimously nominated Mr. AbdulGaniyu Kunle Akogun Director of Corporate Affairs at the University of Ilorin as the preferred candidate to ascend the vacant Akogun of Oke-Odeland stool.

The vacancy arose following the death of the sixth Akogun of Oke-Ode, Chief AbdulRauf Tunde Akogun, on 10 January 2024. In a statement issued by ACFF Secretary Mr. Ismail Akogun, the family confirmed the nomination during its 2025 Annual Reunion/General Meeting in Oke-Ode last Sunday.

The selection is contingent on ratification once a new Elesa (paramount ruler) of Oke-Ode is installed, as customary in the traditional governance structure.

ACFF Chairman, Chief Imam of Ifelodun Pako Central Mosque in Amukoko, Lagos State, prayed for the timely installation of a "progressive and people-loving Elesa" to lead the town, while also seeking divine guidance for continued peace and development.

The Akogun chieftaincy stool has been domiciled in the Akogun Boogun Compound of Oke-Ode since historic times. And the family has produced six successive holders of the traditional chieftaincy title since the time the town settled at the historic 'Ori Oke'.

They were all renowned for their passionate commitment to the socio-cultural, economic and political development, as well as the security containment of Oke Ode town.

These former illustrious Akoguns were: Late Chief Awodokun Akogun, late Chief Sikako Akogun, late Chief Ayilara Akogun, late Chief Salami Akogun, late Chief Yusuf Akogun, and late Chief Abdulrauf Akogun.

The new Akogun-designate, Mr. AbdulGaniyu Kunle Akogun, is a well known community development enthusiast, who has deployed his knowledge, time, resources, and vast connections in the advancement of Oke Ode such that the town is currently a big force to reckon with in the committee of progressive towns in Kwara state and Nigeria as a whole.

As a renowned journalist and consummate Public Relations practitioner, Mr. Akogun has projected the name of Oke Ode town far beyond the borders of Kwara State and even the shores of Nigeria.

The Akogun nominee, who is the Director of Corporate Affairs at the University of Ilorin, is the current national Public Relations Officer of Oke Ode community, the immediate past National Publicity Secretary of Igbomina Professionals Association (IPA), and the Vice Chairman of the Igbomina-Ekiti Muslims Forum (IEMF).

As a senior official of the University of Ilorin, he has used his position to facilitate the admission of countless number of Oke Ode youths into the university, among several other beneficial contributions to the progress of the town.
