The Speaker of Osun State House of Assembly, Hon. Adewale Egbedun, has returned to his hometown, Asi, after a dispute with Oba Isaac Oyewale.

The speaker who had been at loggerheads with Oba Oyewale after a phone call which was recorded and circulated by the monarch’s wife, returned to the town on Thursday.

Traditional rulers including Oloyan of Oyan, Oba Kilani Adekeye, had intervened to settle the matter between the speaker and the king.

The youth leader of Asi, Samuel Olawoyin, said the matter has been resolved.

He said the people of the town trooped out to welcome the speaker with some traditional chiefs who had joined to represent Oba Oyewale.

“We all came here to welcome our leader, Egbedun. We appreciate him for allowing peace to reign in the community. He said there is no dispute any longer and we have agreed.

“The chiefs that are here came to show that the rift between the speaker and the monarch has been settled,” Olawoyin said.

Also, a woman who identified herself as Deborah, said the matter has been settled and the people of Asi have been living in peace.

The speaker had earlier apologised to the people of the town for his emotional outburst against the monarch, noting that he was infuriated by the past actions of the monarch that he has tolerated.

Addressing the people of Asi, Egbedun urged them to live in peace, noting that he is no longer fighting anybody.
