The Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Gani Adams, has said he will continue to defend the interest of the Yoruba people and Nigeria as a whole, using his position in any little way possible.
Meanwhile, a Professor from the Department of History, Obafemi Awolowo University, Akin Alao, said Adams’ appointment as the Aare Ona Kakanfo was peculiar, as he is the first person who hold the position who isn’t from Oyo land.
He said, “The peculiarity of his appointment lies in the fact that he will be the first person that would be appointed from an area not directly under Oyo, being from Arigidi-Akoko. All previous Aare came from the Oyo culture area, but Adams will be the first to be appointed from a place outside the political and cultural influence of Oyo.
