Nigeria has 774 local government areas (LGAs), each administered by a local government council consisting of a chairman, who is the chief executive, and other elected members, who are referred to as councillors.

The Ijesha are one of the major sub-ethnicity of the Yorubas of West Africa. Ilesha is the largest town and historic cultural capital of the Ijesha people, and is home to a large kingdom of the same name, ruled by a King titled as his Imperial Majesty, the Owa Obokun Adimula of Ijesaland. The Prince Clement Adesuyi Haastrup from the Bilaro Oluodo Ruling House succeeds the now late Oba Gabriel Adekunle Aromolaran, as the 49th Owa Obokun of Ijesaland. However there is much contention as the Osun State Government and Prince Clement Adesuyi Haastrup violated a court injunction that said no king is to be chosen until the court case has been settled which was made a week before his controversial and likely illegal selection. It is expected that the court proceedings will nullify this controversial election All Kings of Ijesaland are among the few paramount rulers and most prominent kings of the Yoruba Race extending to Nigeria, Benin, Togo, Ghana and the South Americas (Lucumí). This prominence is due to the founder of the Ijesas being Owa Ajibogun who is the direct son of Oduduwa who is the Royal Yoruba Progenitor and God-King of the Yoruba People.
