ADDRESS TO THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY OF IRAYE-REMO ON THE ISSUE OF THE ODÉMO OF ISHARA BILLBOARD
I wish to use this opportunity to address the entire community of Iraye-Remo concerning the recent discussions, complaints, speculations, and grievances surrounding the billboard bearing the name and identity of the Odémo of Ishara, which is mounted at his personal residence located within Iraye-Remo.
I would like to state clearly that the presence of this billboard should not be interpreted as a threat to the territorial boundary, security, peace, or community governance of Iraye-Remo. It is simply an identification of the individual and his position.
It is also important to clarify that the relevant stakeholders from both communities have already engaged and reached an understanding regarding the boundaries between Iraye and Ishara, as well as the areas adjoining Ode. The locations and demarcations have been discussed and properly addressed by the appropriate stakeholders.
Therefore, the presence of the said billboard or the building where it is mounted should not become a source of controversy or division among our people. What is important is that the established understanding concerning the boundaries remains respected.
I therefore appeal to all sons and daughters of Iraye-Remo to continue to promote peace, unity, mutual respect, and peaceful coexistence with our neighbouring communities.
Iraye-Remo occupies a very important position, serving as a gateway into Ishara and also a gateway into Ode as well as Eposo. Because of this strategic position, we must continue to demonstrate maturity, understanding, and a strong commitment to peaceful relationships with our neighbours.
Let us not allow a matter of identification to create unnecessary tension or division among communities that have lived together and interacted peacefully for generations.
I urge everyone to remain calm, disregard unnecessary speculation, and continue to support peace, unity, and togetherness among Iraye, Ishara, Ode, Eposo and all neighbouring communities.
Thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation.
May peace continue to reign in Iraye-Remo, Ishara, Ode, and all our neighbouring communities.
God bless Iraye-Remo.
God bless Ishara.
God bless Ode.
God bless Eposo
God bless Ogun State.
God bless Nigeria.
