原文原文 / Original Text

伊热布兰（Ijebuland）的宗教领袖向奥贡州（Ogun State）州长达波·阿比奥杜恩（Dapo Abiodun）发出呼吁，要求解除对已故伊热布兰阿乌贾莱（Awujale）国王奥巴·西基鲁·阿德托纳（Oba Sikiru Adetona）继承人遴选工作的禁令，并表示长期空缺王位已引起当地民众的担忧。\n\n这一呼吁是于周日提出的。当时，伊热布兰圣公会主教彼得·罗蒂米·奥卢迪佩（Rt. Rev. Dr. Peter Rotimi Oludipe）博士、伊热布兰总伊玛目谢赫·穆夫塔乌丁·阿扬巴德霍（Sheikh Muftaudeen Ayanbadejo）以及伊热布兰奥苏格博（Osugbo in Ijebu-Ode）负责人博兰莱·巴卡雷（Chief Bolanle Bakare）共同出席了一场社区赋能项目及52个钻井工程的启用仪式。该项目由伊热布兰王室王子兼慈善家奥莫奥巴·阿宾博拉·奥纳班霍（Omooba Abimbola Onabanjo）及其妻子奥洛里·阿巴约米·奥纳班霍（Olori Abayomi Onabanjo）资助。\n\n奥卢迪佩在活动现场接受记者采访时敦促阿比奥杜恩允许遴选程序推进到底，并称拥立者（kingmakers）都是正直的人，应该被允许履行其传统职责。\n\n主教表示：所有人都清楚，延误是由州政府造成的。是州长叫停了负责遴选阿乌贾莱相关人员的筹备工作。\n\n因此，我们期望州长能尽快解除这项禁令，以便遴选程序能够顺利结束，并为各方所接受。\n\n主教指出，阿乌贾莱王位的空缺对当地社区而言并非好事。\n\n他补充道：我们对州长的呼吁是，尽早解除这项禁令，靠着神的恩典，让遴选程序进行到底。\n\n奥卢迪佩指出，宗教领袖同样对延迟遴选感到担忧，因为他们是社区的一部分，并经常面临关于传统王位空缺的质询。

Religious leaders in Ijebuland have appealed to Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, to lift the embargo on the selection of a successor to the late Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Adetona, saying the prolonged delay in filling the stool has become a source of concern to the people.

The call was made on Sunday by the Lord Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Ijebu, Rt. Rev. Dr. Peter Rotimi Oludipe; the Chief Imam of Ijebuland, Sheikh Muftaudeen Ayanbadejo; and the head of Osugbo in Ijebu-Ode, Chief Bolanle Bakare, during the commissioning of 52 borehole projects and a community empowerment programme sponsored by an Ijebu royal prince and philanthropist, Omooba Abimbola Onabanjo, and his wife, Olori Abayomi Onabanjo.

Oludipe, who spoke with journalists at the event, urged Abiodun to allow the process to continue to its conclusion, describing the kingmakers as people of integrity who should be permitted to perform their traditional duties.

“All of us are aware that the delay is caused by the state government. It’s the governor that has put a kind of a stop to the arrangement of those who are supposed to be in charge of selecting the Awujale.

“So we are looking forward to the governor lifting that ban very soon, so that the process can come to a conclusion that will be acceptable to all,” the bishop said.

The bishop said the absence of an Awujale was undesirable for the community.

“Our own appeal to the governor is that this ban should be lifted at the earliest possible time, and let’s allow the process to run to conclusion, by the grace of God,” he added.

Oludipe noted that religious leaders were also concerned about the delay because they were part of the community and were constantly confronted with questions about the vacant traditional stool.
