We followed due process in selecting Lenuwa of Ode Omi  Oba Adekunle Folailu Hassan - Oshoteku II 

Ogun Waterside Local government council has debunked accusations making the rounds on social media that due process   was not followed in the  final selection of the Lenuwa of Ode Omi  Oba Adekunle Folailu Hassan - Oshoteku II. 

Calling the publication as handiwork of mischief makers , Comrade Femi Onanuga the Transition Chairman Ogun Waterways Local government area in a  press statement on Friday states " This is to clear the air on the final selection of the Lenuwa of Ode Omi  Oba Adekunle Folailu Hassan - Oshoteku II. The attention of the authority of Ogun Waterside Local government  had been drawn to a foul cry and fictitious ranting of some agent provocateur over the selection   which was done in strict conformity with the chiefs laws 2006, directives and supervision of the Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy affairs.

Oba Adekunle Folailu Hassan" Oshoteku II was elected by 2/3 majority of Kingmakers present at the selection process which commenced at Ode Omi town hall. 

That a singular candidate pooled 50% of the total vote out of five candidates shows the popularity of the candidate and the credibility of the selection process.

That the selection process was concluded in the Council's premises because of security threat doesn't invalidate nor make the process less credible. It is noteworthy to mention that the appointments of Oshoteku I in 1939 was concluded in the Awujale palace at Ijebu Ode"

Prominent Odeomi sons and daughters and indeed the majority of the citizens are happy and satisfied with the selection process, only a disgruntled few are sad, unhappy and mourning a process overwhelmingly commended"
