A chieftaincy crisis is brewing in Ondo kingdom, in Ondo West local government area of Ondo State over the installation of a High Chief in the town.Specifically, some youths faulted the installation of Chief Ambrose Boluwaji Akinsade as Jomu, who is one of the kingmakers of the kingdom.The youths under the auspices of Ondo Youth Coalition for Justice and Equity in a statement by their Secretary, Mr Eniitan Marcus said the appointment of Akinsade as Jomu would lead communal conflict if not redress. According to him, whoever that wants to occupy the office of Jomu must not only be popular, he must be refined, cultured, credible and above board.Marcus said the selection of Akinsade did not meet the criteria laid down for the office of Jomu and as such it was ultra vire, null and void.According to him, it was wrong of Chief Robert Omoyele acting as the Chairman of the family unilateral endorsed the report of the Otun Jomu to the monarch of the town without the consent of the Jomu family.
