PRESS RELEASE

CONFERMENT OF CHIEFTAINCY TITLE OF OKANLOMO OF YORUBALAND

Stop stirring hornets nest, Alaafin warns Ooni of Ife

. Demands revocation within 48 hours

By Bode Durojaiye, Director of Media and Publicity to the Alaafin, Paramount Ruler of Oyo Kingdom and the Superior Head of Yorubaland.

The attention of the Alaafin of Oyo and the Titan of Yorubaland , Oba Engineer Abimbola Akeem Owoade 1, has been drawn to the purported conferment of chieftaincy title of OKANLOMO of Yorubaland on a business tycoon, Dotun Sanusi, by the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi.

The conferment of chieftaincy title which bothers on Yorubaland by the Ooni of Ife is not only an affront to the referred institution of the Alaafin who is the Titan of Yorubaland and on who hold Exclusive right to confer any chieftaincy title which covers the entire Yorubaland on anyone

The Ooni of Ife is behaving as if there is no Authority to check and call him to order and because of that "above the law" syndrome of his, he is in the habit of walking on everybody’s' back including the apex Court in the country, the Supreme Court, which had ruled on the Exclusive preserve of the Alaafin to confer chieftaincy title that covers the entire Yorubaland on anyone.

The instrument of office presented to Oba Ogunwusi, during his installation, specifically limits his Traditional area of authority to Oranmiyan Local Government which has now been split into three Local Governments, viz: Ife Central, Ife North and Ife South.

The dictum that nobody is above the law of the land is now being put to a crucial test and the reality of our time makes it very obligatory for the Alaafin to call the Ooni of Ife to order and demand REVOCATION of the so- called OKANLOMO of Yorubaland chieftaincy title conferred on Engineer Dotun Sanusi WITHIN 48 HOURS or face the consequences.

It is a statement of fact that during the Alaafin's unity tour to Yoruba monarchs, he reiterated his message that there could not be development without unity.

Oba Owoade had told the gathering that ""it is the joy of our forefathers for us to be in unity and they did their part in ensuring peace and unity in Yorubaland; we must also strive to achieve this. God Himself is involved in our matter therefore we must always, at all times, be concerned about the peace and unity of Yorubaland. We say we want development, but no meaningful and sustainable development will come without peace and unity"".

But it seems the Ooni of Ife is misconceiving the Alaafin , Paramount with the Heart of Gold, and his peace initiative, as as the symbol of his stimulity, hence taking taking decisions that are not only Ultra vires, but derogatory to the Titan of Yorubaland.

What is the Alaafin going to do after 48 hours

Clash of the royalties. Who will win?

These ones go just dey fight ego battles.

Kings wey no get levels again.

Make alafin relax now...oni self get power to give title as him get power to give I rest my case.

Politics in our traditional institution has rendered the institution use-less

Who is more powerful between the Alaafin and Ooni

The tone of that letter get as e be.

These guys want begin do like politicians.

Hmmmm! na wa ooo. Make God carry us reach there ooo. Abi ki la ti nwi?

This new Alaafin brought war with him to the throne. He wants to recover the influence and authority which the Alaafin of the old wielded. Unfortunately, in this age, the traditional monarchical authorities are under the control of elected politicians who now have the powers to enthrone and dethrone.

The current nationally recognised preeminence of Ooni of Ife cannot be removed by this gra gra by the new Alaafin. Yes, the history books have the enviable tales of the rise and fall of great OYO EMPIRE but we are in a different period now. He needs to be less confrontational as he is painting himself more of a THUG on the throne than a royal father.

Alaafin is not fighting or agitating for factory or industry In Oyo like we have in Lagos or Ibadan. The only university in that town is owned by missionary. The town is still having some 19th century look

A so called former empire. He shud take a look at fellow historical empire city states like Rome and London and see how highly developed they're. But this naive king isn't seeing in that direction,he's instead busy fighting for supremacy with the Ooni, someone that' has left him behind in the ranks. The fact that Obafemi Awolowo university is located in Ife and not Oyo is enough to convince to tell anyone that Ooni is not Alaafin mate in all ramifications. Alaafin is waving at an already departed bus. Mk him rest.

His choice is still being challenged in the court..

No Oba should be allowed to award titles that cover beyond their domain. Alaafin is king of Oyo, Ooni is king of Ife.

Alaafin is the paramount Yoruba king.

Ooni should tread with caution

Funny people!

Make dem kuku enter ring go settle am like Portable

He's not misbehaving, he's using his power and trying to put things in order

Not a problem.
That thing that this Alaafin is looking for, he will soon get it.

This matter should be resolved amicable,it doesn't call for unnecessary noise.

Enemies of the Yoruba's will be happy and might likely blow this matter out of proportion

What power. All these kings that ordinary local government can dethrone

That thing Mr Owoade of Oyo is looking for, he will soon get it. Hope you know he has a pending murder case over the baba that died after being beaten in the palace?

Seyi Makinde will call this Youth Corper to order and he will get some sense.

Battle of supremacy about to start from this angle.

Waste of time. Just disturbing the courts with rubbish.

Ooni of Ife not Yoruba land.

Alaafin is the supervisor one in Yoruba land
