A senior member of the Omowumi Abisogun Ruling House of the Oniru royal family, Prince Babatunde Kabiawu, who lives in the United States, bemoans the alleged usurpation of the monarchy, in this interview with TOBI AWORINDEyou describe the process normally used by the Oniru royal family in choosing the successor to the throne?
But in this case, it was the other way round. There was no due process. We just heard that the new Oniru was being installed. I was called . I never knew. We were never consulted. We have elders within the family; they were not consulted. Nobody was consulted. So, he was just installed by people who have political powers and interest in that area. So, he is there to represent the political class, not the family, because we have branches.
I wouldn’t know what is on their minds because people are controlled with money. Everybody now believes in what they will put in their pockets. I only know what is on my mind. Even the last Oba that passed on; the branch he claimed was fabricated; it never existed. He was a cousin from the Aromire family. His great-grandfather came to live with Omowumi.
