Barely two days after the commencement of selection process for the installation of new Deji of Akure, one of the thirteen contestants nominated by the Osupa Ruling House, America-based Prince, Patrick Kole Aladetoyinbo, has emerged the Deji-elect.
Until his selection on Sunday, Prince Aladetoyinbo lived in Baltimore in United States of America (U.S.A) where he also came and contested during the process that installed the deposed Deji, Prince Adesina Adepoju as monarch.
He is the son of the immediate past Head of the Osupa ruling house and Alayere of Iyere, late Pa. Aladetoyinbo.
The traditional rites to ascend the throne has already commenced with the Deji-elect visit to Chief Asamo’s house opposite the Deji’s palace where some rites will be performed.
Aladetoyinbo beat twelve other princes from the Osupa Ruling House nominated on Friday, including a well known Porthacourt based prophet and church founder, Prophet Samuel Adegboro.
Governor Olusegun Mimiko is expected to present the instrument of office and staff of authority to the new monarch at a ceremony inside the Cocoa Conference, Hall of Governor Office, Alagbaka-Akure on Monday.
