The emergence of Taiwo Taiwo as Onipara elect of Ipara Remo has continued to generate horrendous controversies and protests from traditional societies and organisations which are indigenous to Ipara Remo, Ogun State.
In its follow up to a petition to the Ogun State, Governor Chief Dapo Abiodun, Ipara Cultural Heritage Protection Council (ICHPC), has again made a press release where it revealed ‘ Why Taiwo Taiwo should not be made Olupara of Ipara Remo’
In the release made available to newshounds in Lagos yesterday, Mr Babs Awopeju, Secretary-General of ICHPC, pointed out that ‘ Taiwo Taiwo lacks both the moral and cultural credentials to be made Onipara of Ipara, a town which parades and produces distinguished men and women of strong character and unblemished integrity ‘
Ipara Cultural Heritage Protection Council revealed that ” Taiwo Taiwo, apart from the fact that he is not of the royal blood of Amororo Ruling House, he is grossly deficient in character and recorded shortage in moral balancing ‘
The Council alleged that Taiwo Taiwo has a series of fraudulent cases bordering on criminality on his neck and thus unfit for the throne

3) That he defrauded one of our elders in Ipara to the tune of millions of naira
4) That he has not washed free from the allegation of conspiring with others to kill his father

The Ipara Cultural Heritage Protection Council remarked that ” We cannot stand akimbo and allow a few people to Lord over us a stained personality with no blue blood running in his veins and a man who is enmeshed in a series of the fraudulent and criminal allegation as King ‘
