Olu-Epe Tussle: Omodele Ibrahim Calls for Peace in Epe Kingdom

 

The President of the Epe Ogunmodede Club and the Alakoso of Epe Kingdom, Barrister
Omodele Ibrahim, has called on factions involved in the tussle over the vacant seat of the
Olu-Epe of Epe Kingdom to embrace peace and shun all acts that could lead to a breakdown
of law and order in the community.
He made the appeal on Sunday at Glover Hall, Lagos, during this year’s King Kosoko
Memorial Lecture held to celebrate the legacy of the Lagos monarch.
Ibrahim stated that the intervention of the Lagos State Government was a welcome
development, urging members of the community to await the outcome of the government’s
decision and avoid acts capable of disrupting the peace and tranquillity enjoyed in the area.
The annual lecture, which brings together dignitaries, cultural leaders, and descendants of
King Kosoko, was dedicated to celebrating the monarch’s enduring legacies, reinforcing his
values of unity, education, and cultural pride.
Barrister Ibrahim restated King Kosoko’s significance in Lagos history, describing him as “a
great and courageous monarch who built on the cultural heritage of Lagos.” He noted that
Eko-Epe was founded on love, strength, and peace—values that must be preserved for future
generations.
“You cannot talk about the history of the Eko-Epe community without mentioning the advent
of King Kosoko. That is the root of our cultural heritage in Lagos. His settlement laid the
foundation for the development of our community, and we, as his descendants, are living
testimony to that legacy,” he said.
The Ogunmodede Club president further encouraged the youths to emulate King Kosoko’s
values of courage, discipline, and cultural pride. He stressed that the founding fathers of Eko-
Epe placed education and welfare at the heart of community development, a tradition the Epe
Ogunmodede Club remains committed to sustaining.
“Today, our duty is to ensure that our youth are supported in their educational pursuits while
promoting peace, unity, and human capital development. That is the true spirit of our
heritage,” he added.
Reinforcing this message, the Baamofin of Epe Kingdom, Barrister Tunde Seriki,
underscored the significance of peace and harmony during the Olu-Epe transition, noting that
peace has always been a guiding principle of the community’s forefathers.
Similarly, High Chief Wale Magaji praised the memorial lecture for rekindling a strong sense
of belonging among descendants of Kosoko, describing it as a vital reminder of lineage,
history, and shared identity.
The 2025 King Kosoko Memorial Lecture not only celebrated the monarch’s lasting influence
on Lagos history but also underscored the responsibility of the younger generation to uphold
peace, preserve culture, and strengthen community bond.
