The Oba Odeyemi Royal Family has officially announced a major restructuring of the leadership of the Omo’ba Meta Royal Family in Odo-Nla Kingdom.
The strategic move, it was gathered, was aimed at strengthening internal governance and ensuring more inclusive and effective representation of the Odo-Nla Kingdom at both local and state levels.
Following a formal endorsement at the recent Omo’ba Meta executive meeting, Prince Oluseye Mobolade Adedipe, FCA, has been appointed as the new Olotu Omo’ba Meta (Family Head General) and will lead the family under the revered Oba Odeyemi Adeesho Ademuyewo a.k.a. Ofinran Royal lineage.
Alongside Prince Adedipe, other esteemed individuals have been named official representatives of the royal family to the Ikorodu High Court and the Ikeja Chieftaincy Tribunal. They include Chief Shamsideen Shofolawe Bakare, Oluwo of Odo-Nla and Chief Sodiq Gbade Bakare, Raselu of Odo-Nla.

The appointments pay tribute to the legacy of the late Otunba Afolabi Ekiyoyo, former Olotu Omo’ba Meta, whose leadership and devotion to the Odo-Nla community remain a guiding light.
The royal family also expresses deep appreciation to Omotolani Ogunsami, the outgoing General Secretary, for his dedicated service. In his place, Prince Muritala Alade from the Upenyenwa lineage has been appointed as the new General Secretary of the Omo’ba Meta Royal Family.
In a further step towards inclusive governance, the former G6 Executive Committee has been dissolved and reconstituted as the G11 Executive Committee, incorporating broader representation from all three ruling houses: Ogbodo, Raselu, and Upenyenwa.
