Agba Oke Esa Nominate Baale Olamiju as Asiwaju

To the surprise of all, Chief Olamiju sudenly became the cynosusre of all eyes as he was extemporaneously announced as the Asiwaju of Oke Esa Quarters, Esa Oke Kingdom. This is a first of its kind amongst the four Quarters of Esa Oke.

www.esaoketodayonline.com notes that the Ajo Agba Oke Esa is the forthnighly meeting of Chief Asaba and his Chiefs.

The development shocked the Lagos-based chartered accountant and financial consultant, who was nonplussed and hardly could utter a word.

Chief Olamiju, sixty-nine years old, is from the Ogboni Oke Chieftaincy Ruling House in the Quarters.
High Chief Olamiju was highly commended by the Agba Oke Esa Quarters, who praised his steadfast commitment to all matters affecting the Quarters particularly, and the Esa Oke community in general.
The Head of the Quarters, Chief John Olufemi Aluko, Asaba of Esa Oke, said he was surprised that High Chief Olamiju was born and bred in his quarters, and yet, it was in Lagos State that he was first discovered and recognized.

The nomination was unanimously supported by the chiefs and elders and immediately approved by the youths of Oke Esa Quarters.

As if it was pre-arranged, the Olori Ode (Head of the hunters) of Oke Esa Quarters immediately ordered the customary seven gun salute in his honour. The hunters thereafter moved to his family house in Ile Ogboni Oke and repeated the gun salute.

The seven gun salute is a symbol of affirmation and confirmation of a chieftaincy title in Esa Oke.

However, no date has been fixed for the formal coronation of the first Asiwaju of Oke Esa Quarters, High Chief Solomon Olaniran Olamiju.

A date will be fixed later for the formal installation ceremonies of the first Asiwaju of Oke Esa Quarters, High Chief Solomon Olaniran Olamiju.
