Let me Emphasize this, it is high time that Imope Town have a king but High Chief Tajudeen Kolawole is lobbying to become a king, infact he has declared himself as the king of the town, calling himself the Alademeta of the town.

Even the fidipote family he is claiming to be is not true according to record and their is no lineage of fidipote in Imope.

We don't want him as our king, Even his reign as the Baale, he has sold the means of resources of the town. Imope Town is known for moulding Clay pot, but he has sold the land of clay which makes it difficult for the moulder of clay pot to mould as it now require buying against what they dug free of charge."
