The Oyo State Government, on Tuesday, waded into the simmering public altercations over the boundary dispute between Iwo, in State, and Ibadan, in Oyo State.
A statement by the Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Prince Dotun Oyelade, urged both sides of the divide to stop the back-and-forth blame game, and allow the two governments to continue mature discussions on the resolution to the land dispute.
He said the media feed on combustible materials such as this, adding that while unending hostile public statements feed the media nest, they are injurious and a distraction to what the governors of the two states are doing.
“The two governments believe that the protracted land dispute is not intractable and traditional institutions should not be a clog in the wheel of peaceful resolution.
“Governors Seyi Makinde and Ademola Adeleke are cooperating fully with the National Boundary Commission through their representatives and believe that an amicable solution will be arrived at soon,” Oyelade said.
