How Oba Adedotun Aremu Gbadebo was elected

Alake of Egbaland was elected to the seat of the Alake of Egbaland in August 2005.

There was a six-month gap between his ascending the throne and the demise of the previous Alake of Egbaland, Oba Oyebade Lipede; the previous Alake died on the 3rd of February 2005.

Several people contested along with him for the throne of the Alake of Egbaland, but he won the majority vote by 15 out of 23 votes.

The king was awarded Commander of the Federal Republic (CFR), and he is currently the Chairman of the Board of Oando PLC.

He is equally one of the richest kings in Yorubaland and also a first-class king.

A dispute ensued between the Olu of Igbein, Oba Festus Oluwole Makinde, and the Oba Adedotun Aremu Gbadebo in April 2010, and the case was charged to the Abeokuta High Court.

The crux of the matter was the attempt made by the Alake of Egbaland to change the title of Olu of Igein to Olu of Mowe.

The Olu of Igbein insisted that such a change would negatively affect his rights to using some traditional symbols, including the Igbein stool.
