The monarch stated that the chiefs had attended the political event without his consent and had violated palace protocol by impersonating him there.

The affected chiefs are Chief Lateef Ojora, Bale Alaba Oro, Chief Saliu Biliamin, Bale Alafia Dodoro, and Chief Taiwo Hassan, Bale Oke Ira.
Others are Chief Idris Ojora, Bale Abule Kere, Chief Hakeem Oseni, Bale Mosafejo Amukoko, and Chief Sule Balogun, Balogun of Abule Kere.

The development followed a palace meeting, where Oba Oyegbemi declared the chiefs’ actions unacceptable.

The Lagos monarch, however, affirmed the significance of transparency and collaboration between traditional authorities and their representation in political matters, while reminding all chiefs of their responsibilities while serving under the esteemed Ojora Kingdom.
