Less than 24 hours after princes from nine royal families in Oyo, collectively known as the Atiba 9, rejected the appointment of Abimbola Owoade as the Alaafin of Oyo, a cultural group, Oyo Prominent Sons has accused Governor Seyi Makinde of not following the right process in the appointment of the new monarch.
Speaking in an interview monitored by our correspondent on Arise News TV, a representative of the group Dimeji Fabiyi said the state government violated the laws by declaring a new Alaafin from his office through a flawed process.
According to him, the development could backfire owing to the heritage of Oyo Town as the beacon of Yoruba cultural value.
Recall that Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, presented the staff of office to the Alaafin-designate on Monday.
