Osun monarch, Oba Haastrup warns traders against price hike
The Owa Obokun Adimula of Ijesa land, Oba Clement Adesuyi Haastrup, has cautioned traders against arbitrary increases in the prices of goods and the sale of counterfeit products.
The monarch gave the warning when members of the Eze Ndigbo in Ijesaland, led by their leader, Eze Ifeanyi Achiever, paid him a courtesy visit at his palace on Wednesday.
Oba Haastrup, who also reaffirmed the hospitality of his people towards non-indigenes, stressed that Ijesaland remained a welcoming home to all residents regardless of origin.
The Ijesa paramount traditional ruler also commended the Igbo community in the area for their harmonious coexistence with his subjects and urged them to continue fostering unity and peace.
“The people of Ijesaland value peaceful cohabitation. I commend you for the cordial relationship with our people and encourage you to sustain it,” the Owa Obokun stated.
He, however, condemned the formation of parallel associations and titles within the Igbo community, calling for reconciliation and unity among the different groups.
Addressing traders specifically, the monarch warned against exploiting consumers through excessive price increases or engaging in the sale of fake goods, which he described as detrimental to both buyers and sellers.
“You must not take advantage of the people by inflating prices or selling substandard products. Fairness in trade is essential for trust and lasting relationships,” he cautioned.
In his remarks, Eze Ndigbo, Ifeanyi Achiever pledged the loyalty of the Igbo community in Ijesaland to the throne of the Owa Obokun Adimula.
Lauding Oba Haastrup’s leadership, Eze Achiever noted that peace and rapid transformation had characterised Ijesaland since the monarch’s installation and enthronement.
