Omotunde's Achievements As Elemo Ise Ekiti Within Five Years.

A traditional leader of Ise Ekiti, in Ekiti State, High Chief Omotunde Paul the Elemo of Ise Kingdom has reiterated his commitment towards human development in Nigeria, particularly in Ekiti state.

Upon the completion of traditional rites and as nominated by the Igbaenijoke linage of the popular Elemo ruling House, High Chief Omotunde Paul was Installed the Elemo Oraye of Ise-Kingdom on the 3rd/4th of June 2015 in the Palace of His Royal Majesty Oba, Dr. David Ajayi (PhD), Aweloye 2nd, the Arinjale of Ise Kingdom 

Elemo is traditionally the third in Iare Oraye in Ise Ekiti and it is a title that has been transferred from one generation to another. . The stool of Elemo is not a title you seek or buy.  It is a title that is hereditary within “OMO ILE-ELEMO” that produced High Ch Omotunde Paul in 2015 as a leading contender and a direct descendant of Osanyindoro (great great grant child of Elemo Ojo Ileke) who migrated from great Benin kingdom, sojourn at Igbemo and finally settled down at Ise kingdom.


  • Traditionally, the Elemo Chieftaincy is one of the oldest, renowned and hallowed chieftain titles in Ise Ekit. The bearer of the chieftaincy title is the third in the rank in the inner Cabinet known as the IHARE ORAYE.

The chieftaincy title is all-important position and eminent role within the cabinet in particular. The traditional council in general confirms the accepted belief that the Elemo Chieftaincy is a pillar within the chieftaincy caucus. This explains the titles cognomen of “Opo Eketa Iare” (meaning “the pillar and the third in the Iare rank) and Afolua kua se konree (That is, everywhere must be silent when Elemo is talking)

Hon. Justice .A. Adesodun of the State High court of Ise Ekiti substantiated the revered position and territorial authority of The Elemo Oraye in his judgment of Monday, December 18th 2017, in the SUIT NO: HIS/1/2017, and on Pages 6,7 and 8 through page 9 wherein the court held and affirmed and High Chief Omotunde Paul as the Head of Elemo Oraye

  • The Elemo is the traditional spokesperson for the (Iare Oraye), (Oraye tranditional council). He conveys the views of the Iare (Oraye) and reports the view of the people to the Oba, the Kabiesi Arinjale Kingdom. Essentially, the Elemo serves the sensitive position as the traditional link between the “crown” and the populace, vice versa.

Other traditional roles of Elemo Oraye include; Host of the ancestral Ogbese Annual Festival; Co-host Amomo Festival; Co-host with High Ch Ojomu, Obaluaye Festival amongst other sacred and peculiar rites.

Highlighting his achievements within the 5 years of his enthronement, Elemo Omotunde said his major achievement was the successful reunification of the long abandoned Ebi Elemo Household meeting, Sponsorship of Bursary, Youth Oriented Programs, Community Development Supports and lots more.
