By Gbenga Olarinoye
OSOGBO—Former governor of Osun state and chairman Board of Trustees of The Centre For Black Culture and International Understanding, CBCIU, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola said he does not mind an amicable resolution of the leadership crisis of the centre between him and the Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka.
The centre, a UNESCO affiliated institution was inaugurated in March 2009 when Prince Oyinlola was in office and he was also named the life chairman of the board of trustees.
But in 2011 when Mr Rauf Aregbesola took over after an appeal court judgment, he removed Prince Oyinlola as the life chairman of BoT of the centre and replaced him with Prof. Soyinka.
The development now has become a matter of litigation before a court of juridiction as the two gladiators are claiming their rights to the position.
But fielding questions from newsmen in Osogbo yesterday at the presentation of “ Orisa Dances of Yoruba land” organised by the centre, Price Oyinlola said though the matter was before a court he was not opposed to any amicable resolution of the matter.
