Speaking with Community Hope,  Faborode  said, when the Ogbolu left Oyo town, where he was apparent hair to  the throne  because of the allegation levelled against him that he was involved in slave trading. He migrated to Akure with his supporters.

He said , during the Aroo war in Akure land, Ogbolu was invited to assist them to fight the war because he was a great  warrior  that never loses any battle he fought. True to the people’s expectation of him, he defeated the Aroos and he was made the third in command to the Deji of Akure.

He established many markets, some of the markets are observed every five days while others are observed every nine days (Erekesan).

The monarch  pleaded with the Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu-led administration to come to their aid in developing the area as according to him, development is far from the area. “There is no potable water, the roads are bad and electricity supply is once in a while. If  these  social amenities are  available, it will go a long way in reducing rural-urban migration. Many youths in the area have abandoned their vocations due to lack of  electricity supply”.
