THREE years after his deposition and banishment, former Deji of Akure, Prince Oluwadare Adesina, Thursday, appealed to the Ondo State government to vacate the order.
.
His appeal is coming following the demise of the immediate past Deji, Oba Adebiyi Adesida, who joined his ancestors on December 1 this year. Adesida reigned three years and three months.
.
In an emotional letter, he declared: "I tasted the good side of life. I now taste the bad side of life. I had fame. I later had shame. I knew glory. I later knew fury. I knew and tasted honour. I have also been brought down to earth. I fell from grace to grass. I have cried many times."
.
Prince Adesina said he had learnt his lessons and was more prepared to return to the throne of his fore fathers since it was the turn of his ruling house to present the next Deji.
.
The letter by his counsel, Mr Sola Oke, dated December 19 was addressed to the State Executive Council.
.
In it, the deposed Deji said many of the allegations levelled against him that led to his deposition were as a result of bad communication and poor information management.
.
According to him, "many of the things he was said to have done never happened."
.
He, therefore, urged Governor Olusegun Mimiko and other members of the state executive council to kindly rescind the decision on his deposition and banishment.
That is what they always say and when they are given the second chance, they still flop at the end of the day.
He has begged for forgiveness but it is now for them to accept his plea if they feel he is trully sorry. We await their response.
