A traditional ruler in Osun State, Oloyan, has appealed to Governor Ademola Adeleke to pay the outstanding salaries of 17 monarchs and 440 chiefs in Odo-Otin Local Government Area, alleging that they have gone seven months without receiving their entitlements.
The monarch made the appeal in a video circulating on social media, where he lamented the hardship allegedly being experienced by the traditional rulers and called on the governor to intervene.
Addressing the governor, Oloyan said the affected monarchs and chiefs had not received their salaries for seven months, urging Adeleke to address the situation.
He also appealed to President Bola Tinubu to intervene, although he acknowledged that the responsibility for resolving the matter rested with the Osun State Government.
The monarch specifically called on the President to prevail on the state government to pay the outstanding entitlements.
The appeal comes amid concerns over the welfare of traditional rulers and their role in maintaining community leadership and grassroots administration.
