The controversy trailing the Alaafin stool took another twist as Agunloye royal family berated Gbadegesin royal family over what was described as insistence on illegality contrary to the directive of Oyo State government on strict adherence to due process in the selection of a new monarch for Oyo Kingdom.
Makinde had during a visit to Iseyin listed lack of harmony and unity, among other reasons, as cause of the delay in announcing a new Alaafin, advising that the royal families in Oyo Kingdom should put their house in order and follow due process.
The High Chief said the name of the nominated prince had been forwarded to the governor who had yet to announce the kingmakers’ choice. It would be recalled that the immediate past Alaafin, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, who ruled for almost 52 years, passed away on April 22, 2022, at 83. “We won the case, with the court throwing away the case and stating that the initial decision that Oyomesi made was right, and, since then, we have expected the governor to make an announcement, but he didn’t. We will continue to wait for him to do that.”
