The attention of the Alaafin's Palace has been drawn to a statement credited to His Excellency, Governor Seyi Makinde that he consulted with the three traditional rulers in the State, the Alaafin, the Olubadan and the Soun of Ogbomoso on the rotational Chairmanship of the State Council of Obas and Chiefs.

The Palace hereby wants to state clearly that there was no time that His Imperial Majesty, the Alaafin of Oyo , Oba Engineer Abimbola Akeem Owoade 1, held any meeting with either the State Governor or any of the two traditional rulers mentioned above.

Also the Alaafin did not tell the Governor or make a categorical statement on his endorsement of rotational Chairmanship among the the three traditional rulers in the State.

The position of the Alaafin and the Entire Oyo Community on the general issue of the,State, Council of Obas,and Chiefs has been enunciated in a Memo delivered to His Excellency by the Oyo Council of Elders.

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

Alaafin should get the hell out! Nobody cares about him or his position.

The governor doesn’t need Alaafin’s statement on endorsing the rotational chairmanship. Gomina n pe o, o lo n di ifa, ti ifa ba fo ire ti Gomina ba ni o fo ibi nko? (The governor tells you to come, you said you are consulting the oracle. If the oracle says yes but the governor says no, you get choice?)

@bolded, Baba don dey calm down, no more supreme leader of the Yoruba 😆😆

Consulted as who ? Alaafin should know just one statement of his removal from the state governor is enough and nothing will happen

Oluwo must have given the Alaafin a very wrong orientation or something to sniff.

I believe this script was written long before now and and being played.
Makinde stylishly left out Gbadegesin who is well connected and understands the politics so well from being the Alaafin. He brought in Owoade who is a novice and doesn’t have the resources to compete with the “big kings”. Owoade has been made a prawn.

You guys should rest, Oyo empire don die tey tey.

Alaafin should humble himself. He needs Ooni of ife for assistance.

Kabiyesi Ladoja is fulfilled now

Those seats are just symbolic and at best, a waste of State resources, if you asked me. The man should know that ceremonial positions are constitutionally subsumed under the authority of State governments.

Why is it that SW and their kings keep disturbing us everywhere here ..they should sort themselves out

Our traditional institution and stools are being bastardised and the people sees 👀 it as normal?
The traditional rulers will wish for military ruler because of how they are being played ▶️ by the governors.

Define nobody? We do care about Alaafin the supreme monarch of the only empire in Yoruba history

Makinde already miscalculated.

Alaafin is fully aligned with Jagaban. This is just round 1 of a battle and Alaafins thrive on such battles historically. Is Makinde equipped to survive in one piece? Hope he consulted elders in his family house

Baba don overdo

.. now everybody dey disrespect him

Empire this, empire that. I get before no be property. Its like Italy (Roman empire) claiming superiority in todays modern age.

You sound desperate to silence him

The governor on the other hand should also be honest and not be found to be a public liar over issues like this.

All I can say is "WE WILL BE HERE".

alaafin is just finding problem for himself. The chairmanship rotation has been pass to law, he won't say be wasn't aware.

Makinde made a mistake in making this Owoade guy a kibg

If Alaafin is aligned with Tinubu, please who is Ladoja aligned with? You think Tinubu will dish Ladoja for Owoade?
If Alaafin is that important, Tinubu would attend his coronation.
Which battle did Alaafin thrive on? The one that sacked his kingdom?

Thank you. It's clear what issue is being addressed yet some here just love polluting threads with their weak emotions.

Apt. He's been made a prawn just as much as a shrimp.

honestly. I think that is why he is trying to correct himself. Oluwo is the one giving him morel.

But is it that this dude has been indoctrinated to believe he is fighting to regain the prestige of the Alaafin throne or he's just arrogant and has his head in the cloud at his ascension to the throne?
We need to know if the Oyo people are with him on this or he's just being himself

See questions o
A more intelligent question would be who Seyi Makinde is aligned with, and the political moves around Okanlomo title. Stay on read-only mode and keep learning. On what Alaafin thrive on, sacked kingdom is common with those who managed to build huge kingdoms. It's not for peasants. The history can never be erased and you could see the implication with children of Baales rewriting history today to attach relevance to their humble history. Empire no be your mate

Let him remove him first, he has the power so let him do it

who is alaafin to jagaban. How many people can he draw for jagaban. You forget olubadan was a former governor, a sen and house of rep member. Who is alaafin. When it comes to oyo, jagaban would rather go for soun of Ogbomosho.... That soun can even control pep in oyo town itself.
