CCII President General Prince Oluyemisi Adeaga congratulates his opponent, Barr. Niyi Ajewole, says he lost his re-election bid to forces sponsored by some Past President-Generals

The outgoing President General of the Central Council of Ibadan Indigenes who doubles as the National President of Red Cross Society of Nigeria, Prince Oluyemisi Adeaga has congratulated Barr. Niyi Ajewole who emerged PG-elect at the just concluded CCII General elections.

Prince Yemisi Adeaga is quoted below:

I congratulate my opponent, Barr. Niyi Ajewole on his victory in the just concluded CCII general election and wish him the very best.

I appreciate all the constituents clubs who believed in my leadership for their unwavering commitment and support which has not only brought development to CCII but also improved the management of resources of the Council.

I appreciate the candidates in my team for their doggedness and spirit of sportsmanship.

I also appreciate all members of my campaign team, supporters, friends, and families for making it possible to face the struggle against mischief, defamation and character assassination which was deployed by the opposing team, to garner pity votes.

Special appreciation goes to my wife, Princess Oluyemisi Adeaga and my children for their unquantifiable support and love.

I also acknowledge the effort of some past President-Generals notably the letter circulated by Chief Bayo Oyero to all constituent clubs on the eve of the election to campaign against me. I take the result as the will of God who will serve each and everyone of us according to what we deserve.

A good take home for us despite the glaring attempts to circumvent the CCII constitution, character assassination and mischief backed up by the external forces who have made themselves kingmakers, is that our performance and leadership skills earned us 45% votes against 53% secured by the winner.

Conclusively, the interest of Ibadan remains paramount to me and I thank God for the opportunity he has given me to serve Ibadanland and Nigeria at large in a humanitarian capacity, this will continue to enhance my contributions towards having a better society.

Long live CCII
Long live Ibadanland
Long live Oyo state
Long live Nigeria.

Prince Oluyemisi Adetayo Adeaga, President General, Central Council of Ibadan Indigenes (CCII) 2021-2023.

Ibadan Prime Youth Forum (IPYF) Warns Against Anarchy in CCII

IPYF LOGO

The Ibadan Prime Youth Forum (IPYF) also known as CCII Youth Wing has cautioned some aggrieved members of the Central Council of Ibadan Indigenes (CCII), admonishing them to refrain from promoting anarchy within the organization. This statement serves to rectify any misconceptions and promote tranquility, harmony, and discipline within CCII.

The Forum’s President, Dr Oluwatunmise Adeagbo while addressing the press on Wednesday evening said, “We would like to clarify that the decision made by the Board of Trustees (BOT) and Legal Committee, which was subsequently upheld by the Electoral Committee, was in strict adherence to the constitutional provisions of CCII. We implore those who are disgruntled to abandon any plans that may incite chaos or disturb the peace within the community.

Our sincere gratitude goes to all the CCII Elders, all members of the CCII BOT, all CCII Past Presidents-General, CCII Affiliate Clubs Presidents, and secretaries who have exhibited astuteness by recognizing this disruptive agenda and remained resolute in their conviction that the unity of Ibadan people is paramount for achieving the desired socioeconomic development. It is imperative that we conduct a peaceful election in accordance with the constitution’s regulations.

As youths, we have observed with concern the attempts by individuals to propagate extremist propaganda on social media. We therefore call on the concerned group to caution their overenthusiastic supporters and preserve the sterling reputation they have earned in Ibadanland.

The recent approach to call for meeting of constituent clubs by impersonating the Secretary General and CCII Executives by Mogaji Nurudeen Akinade is not only unconstitutional, but shameful and could be classified as attempt of Anarchy. We have provided a receipt to substantiate our claim (see evidence attached).

IPYF Claim

Therefore, we use this opportunity to alert all members and Security Agencies to ensure the peaceful existence of CCII is not truncated by some uncoordinated and disgruntled individuals.

Also, We urge all stakeholders to uphold the constitutional provisions of CCII and refrain from engaging in any actions that may undermine the security and stability of the community. We must collaborate to ensure a peaceful, transparent, and credible election in CCII.

The Ibadan Prime Youth Forum (IPYF), an appendage of CCII under AGUFI was established by Chief Yemi Soladoye led Administration, approved by the General Assembly in February 2021, and empowered for better performance for the development of Youths of Ibadan descents by the incumbent Prince Oluyemisi Adeaga led Executives. Since inception, the forum has been contributing towards the development of Ibadan youths in different areas. In view of this, we call on other forum under CCII to join us for effective collaboration.

Finally, we reiterate the IPYF’s unwavering commitment to promoting peace, unity, and progress in Ibadan. We urge all stakeholders to join us in our pursuit of our collective objectives.”

CCII Electoral Committee Upholds Constitutional Provisions Amidst Disqualification of Oluyole Social Elites Club Candidate

CCII

The Electoral Committee of the Central Council of Ibadan Indigenes (CCII) hereby announces the disqualification of a candidate of the Oluyole Social Elites Club from the upcoming CCII General Elections. This decision was made in strict adherence to the constitutional provisions of the CCII, specifically Sections 3.3 (iii) and 8.2 (iii), and was not in any way an indictment of the nominee’s competence.

Regrettably, we have observed that certain parties have made allegations and insinuations in response to this development. While we appreciate their frustration, it is not becoming of stakeholders to engage in uncivilized diatribes against the Board of Trustees and Legal Committee, whose impartiality and dedication are beyond reproach. The CCII Constitution represents the bedrock of our organization’s ethical principles, and it behooves all concerned parties to uphold its stipulations.

We commend those who have demonstrated decorum and eschewed divisive rhetoric that could undermine the unity of the Ibadan people. We express our gratitude to them for their unwavering support as we strive to uphold the integrity of the CCII elections.

Finally, we would like to announce that, pursuant to Section 8.3.7 (i) of the CCII Constitution, the General Elections have been postponed to now hold on 12th of May, 2023.

Signed,
Electoral Committee Central Council of Ibadan Indigenes (CCII)
