Indigenes of Ogbomoso, under the Egbe Omo Ogbomoso Parapo, have petitioned Governor Seyi Makinde regarding an alleged plan to allocate a farm settlement to developers. The petition, signed by Prince Aderemi Olude and Secretary Johnson Adekunle, rejects the move, stating it would destroy the legacy of former Premiers of the Western Region, Chief Obafemi Awolowo and Chief Samuel Akintola.
The land, earmarked for a farm settlement in the early 1960s, has sustained generations and is considered a vital livelihood for the people of Ogbomoso. Surveyors from the state government have reportedly been intruding into the land, which the indigenes describe as a flagrant disregard for heritage. The petition urges the government to revitalize the farm settlement instead of selling it to developers.
