The Igbesa Community in Agbara/Igbesa LCDA may soon erupt in crisis as the  Palace chiefs are up in arms against the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs Chief Waliu Jide Ojuko over the appointment of Regency Council.

In a press statement titled: "Ogun State Government Set Igbesa Ablaze Over Chieftaincy Tussle" the chiefs alleged that the Commissioner contravened Section 26, sub-section 3 Paragraph A-E of Ogun State Chiefs Law in his composition of the Council.

The Chiefs stated that the Regency Council according the law should comprise of: 
1. Elero of Igbesa the most senior traditional Chief and chairman Adele Oba
2. Ajana of Igbesa
3. Aro of Igbesa
4. Ojomo of Igbesa representing Ipetu from Idomo quarters
5. Afose of Igbesa , the secretary Igbesa council of Obas
6. Osunba of Igbesa, the only surviving kingmaker
7. Odemo of Igbesa.

But to their dismay and shock, the Commissioner appointed the following to the Council:
1. Chief Imam of Igbesa
2. Chairman, Christian Association Of Nigeria
3. Head of traditional worshippers
4. Iya Agan for masquerade
5. Osunba of Igbesa as he is automatic to the council being the only surviving kingmaker
6. Afose of Igbesa , the secretary Igbesa council of Obas
7. Pa Olaide Ajose an indigene of Ikogbo 
8. Timothy Ojugbele
9. Rasheed Bantefa
10. Yisa Aro

According to the statement signed by Chief M. K. Akapo,  Ajana of Igbesa and Chief M. A. Sanusi, Aro of Igbesa:
"For the first time in history,  we would be hearing an Imam or Pastor appointed as warrant Chiefs  to elect an Oba. Chief Waliu Jide Ojuko must be checked as all he is trying to do will divide Igbesa  and send the same signal as that of Ado-Odo which will paralyze the economic potential of Igbesa  and tell on the companies transactions as well as the IGR generated which the commissioner is benefitting from. 

"To this, we  implore well meaning Nigerians, media, both Federal and State government to  intervene with immediate effect in order to curb the planned war by the commissioner" 

However, in his reaction, the Commissioners said the composition of the council was done  in accordance with the law which stipluated that appoint prominent persons in the town be appointed.

"The appointment of the Regency Council was based on the recommendations of the Local Government Council,  there is no hidden agenda. 

"Let  me further say that a delegation of the chiefs had been to my office  four times I advised  them to pick their candidates by consensus but they asked government to do it them as they are unable to reach consensus. As to the number of persons, government is  not constrained to pick only five.

"But all the same, if they have any any complaints, they should forward same formally to  my office", the Commissioner explained
