Traditional rulers will henceforth be installed and buried according to their re­ligious beliefs in Ogun State as Governor Dapo Abiodun, Monday, signed into law a Bill that provides for how traditional rulers and chiefs are to be selected, appointed, recognized and buried.

Titled; “A Bill for a Law to provide for an approved method for the selection, ap­pointment and recognition of Obas and Chiefs in Ogun State and for Other Related Matters”, the law seeks to redefine the traditional insti­tution to reflect the current realities.

The bill was promoted by the Awujale and Paramount Ruler of Ijebuland, Oba (Dr) Sikiru Adetona.

Among other things, the law provides for the preserva­tion, protection and exercise by Traditional Rulers of their fundamental rights to be in­stalled and buried according to their religions or beliefs and for other related matters.

Traditionalists had op­posed the law and declared that it was an attempt to push cultural practice into extinc­tion, but the Christian and the Muslim communities de­scribed the bill as “a welcome development.”

Signing the Bill on Mon­day in the presence of the State’s paramount rulers, Governor Abiodun said it was imperative to review the existing law as the state could not have laws that are antiquated and contravene the fundamental rights of individual traditional rulers and what state stands for.

“I believe that one of the unique things about this Law beside the fact that it is set out to improve the method for the selection of Obas and Chiefs, is the clarity that this law provides as it relates to the passage of our kabiyesis.

“This law seeks to improve on the previous existing West­ern Nigeria laws on where there had been ambiguity as it relates to how our kabiyesis will be buried.

“It now allows the fami­lies to determine how our Obas will be interred and, of course, without prejudice to the traditional rites that are meant to be performed by the customary laws. Going forward, the families now have a say on how our royal fathers should be buried,” he explained.

Governor Abiodun, who described traditional institu­tions headed by traditional rulers as the closest and old­est form of administration at the grassroots, noted that they had existed before the com­ing of the missionaries, and assured that the government would collaborate with them to deepen development in the grassroots, as they are reliable and dependable.

The governor appreciated the Awujale for his dogged­ness and persistent in seeing to the review of the law in line with the provision of the Con­stitution of Nigeria, as well as members of the House of As­sembly for ensuring that the Bill went through rigorous exercise as it was subjected to public hearing because of interest people have on how Obas and Chiefs are appoint­ed
