It was during the reign of Osimore the Oba Ijebu-Ode (circa 1200AD) that Ajogun Ogborogan (later known and addressed as Obanta), the first Awujale, traveled from Ife to found his kingdom in the land of his maternal grandfather, Olu Iwa Oowu ile. It should be noted that Ajogun was a son of Odudua through Gbarowa, a daughter of Olu-Iwa.

A New Dawn for Esure: Why a Palace for the Obelu is Imperative Now
The Esure Community Development Trust’s initiative to construct a new palace for the Obelu is not merely an architectural endeavor but a vital investment in our collective future. This project is a necessity at this time for several compelling reasons.
Firstly, a modern, befitting palace will serve as a central hub for traditional governance and community engagement. The Obelu’s palace is more than a residence; it is the heartbeat of Esure, where vital community decisions are made, disputes resolved, and cultural heritage celebrated. A new edifice will provide adequate space for these crucial functions, fostering more effective leadership and civic participation.
Secondly, the palace will stand as a symbol of Esure’s rich heritage and aspirations. In an era of rapid change, preserving and showcasing our unique cultural identity is paramount. A dignified palace will attract visitors, boosting local tourism and creating economic opportunities for our people. It will serve as an enduring testament to our traditions and a source of pride for future generations.
Finally, this project represents unity and progress. It is a testament to the community’s collective resolve to uplift Esure. By supporting the Esure Community Development Trust, we are not just building a structure; we are laying the foundation for enhanced cultural preservation, improved governance, and a more prosperous future for all. The time for this vital investment is now.
