The fierce battle, which has thrown the community into tension, is between the six kingmakers who want the alleged stolen mandate returned to Gboleru ruling house, who is meant to produce the king initially with the Eesa of Ikirun, Chief Lawal on one hand. Then the deposed Oba Akadiri and his brother, Dr Adeyemi, who want to take the crown through Lawal by every means on the other hand.

The Head of Gboleru Ruling House, Prince Olawale Olatunji Gboleru, spoke on the matter and insisted that it was the turn of their ruling house to produce the king stating that they have qualified candidates to fill the space on the stool.

He stated that he was so surprised that Dr Adeyemi is the one abusing the system and causing crises in the town, whereas it was the gazette, which his late father laid down that the community has been following over the years.

He explained that the Obaara ruling house, where Adeyemi came from ruled the town from 1940 to 1989 and Adedeji ruling house ruled from 1990 till 2021 and Gboleru was the next to produce the king, but they created problem and manipulated the system because they had power and money
