Ondo state Government today named the Osemawe of Ondo, Oba Victor Kiladejo as the new Chairman of the state's Council of Obas.

He replaces the Deji of Akure, Oba Adebiyi Adegboye Adesida who joined his ancestors in 2013.

The state Commissioner for Information, Kayode Akinmade made this known in a statement issued after the state's Executive Council meeting held on Monday.

The last time an Osemawe occupied the position of the Chairman of the state's council of Obas was during the Old Ondo state when he functioned between 1994 and 1995.

At the inception of the new Ondo State in 1996, the Olubaka of Ibaka emerged as the Chairman.

He was succeeded by the Abodi of Ikale.The Jegu of Ile-Oluji, Olugbo of Ugbo, Amapetu of Mahin and the Olowo of Owo later occupied the position before the late Deji of Akure took over in February 2012.

It will be recalled that the office however became vacant following the demise of the Deji in December 2013.
