The Deputy Governor, Otunba Bisi Egbeyemi gave the warning in Ado-Ekiti While mediating on Chieftancy titles and Boundaries issue among Ipoti Ekiti, Ejiyan Ekiti and Owatedo Ekiti.
Otunba Egbeyemi maintained that Government would not hesitate to suspend any Traditional Ruler caught promoting crisis or sponsor issues that could cause disaffections in their domains.
The Deputy Governor noted that despite repeated warnings and appeals in December last year for the three Monarchs to maintain peace and allow Government to make it findings in order to settle dispute among them, one of them ignored the government directive.
