Ooni Alaafin Supremacy Tussle Ends Soon__ Yoruba Monarchs by FakeJews: 7:34am On Jan 05, 2014
By OLA AJAYI
Traditional rulers in the South-west have
restated their resolve to end the rivalry
between the Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade
Sijuwade, and Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi
Adeyemi.
This came just as the monarchs said they
would likely mediate in the feud between
former President Olusegun Obasanjo and
her daughter, Mrs. Iyabo Obasanjo.
This was disclosed at a meeting held by the
Yoruba Obas Conflict Resolution Committee
at the Premier Hotel in Ibadan yesterday.
The Ooni and Alaafin have for many years
been embroiled in a supremacy tussle
among Yoruba monarchs.
While noting that the cause of enmity
among monarchs in the zone was ego, the
committee assured that it would not be
distracted from its mandate.
The Olugbo of Ugboland, Oba Fredrick
Obateru Akinruntan, the chairman of the
committee, said, “ We have achieved a lot
after setting up this committee. We
discovered that the genesis of rivalry among
Yoruba obas was nothing but ego. We have
succeeded in that we have been able to
make our traditional rulers speak with one
voice”.
On the Alaafin and Ooni feud, he said, “They
are our senior obas. We are not competent
to judge them. We are their children. They
have been our rulers for many years. But we
are sure they would come together very
soon”.
Akinruntan added,” “On the feud between
Obasanjo and Iyabo, it is a family matter and
it is also a political matter.
“We don’t want to make comments on it. We
will see what we can do about it. We will
settle it in a matter of time. When we leave
here, we will meet Obasanjo to know what
actually happened.

Nothing concern masses about the supremacy fight.

If they like they should continue forever.

Most traditional rulers in nigeria do not represent the interest of their subjects.
