A new book, The throne of Alalisan of Ilisan: Oba Obafuwa and Isokun Royal Controversy, will be launched.
In a statement, the author of the book, Kehinde Onajobi, said the decision to write the book was his way of documenting the true story of Obafuwa who ruled Ilisan Remo, Ogun State for 14 years, for posterity.
He hinged this on the fact that this had become expedient to put the circumstances surrounding the ascension of the late Oba to the throne in proper perspective. Onajobi, historian and author of many books, stressed that his position had been alluded to with the documentation of Isokun as a ruling house in Ilisan by the Ogun State government.
These, he said, were evidence that the half-truths that Oba Obafuwa “gatecrashed’’ into being an Oba as clearly mischievous and baseless.
The launch takes place at Oba Obafuwa palace, Isokun Quarter, Orita Merin, Ilisan Remo. Chairman on the occasion is Olusoga Awobajo, assisted by Jomu of Ilisan, Tobi Oduyale, while the Oba of Ilisan, Michael Sonuga, is royal father of the day.
