Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, has lauded the appointment of Abimbola Owoade as the new Alaafin of Oyo.
He also congratulated the Alaafin-designate on his appointment as the new Oyo king.
This is contained in a statement at the weekend by Moses Olafare, director of Media and Public Affairs, Ooni’s Palace, Ile-Ife, Osun State.
The statement was, however, silent on the complaints by the Oyo kingmakers (Oyomesi) that Owoade’s appointment was illegal. ‘’as it did not follow due process.’’
Aareonakakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Adams, has congratulated the Alaafin of Oyo-designate, Prince Owoade, on his emergence as the new Alaafin.
He described it as a blessing to Oyo town and Yoruba race as a whole.
Adams, in a statement by his Special Assistant on Media, Mr. Kehinde Aderemi, said it was a thing of joy that the vacuum left behind by the death of the late Oba Lamidi Adeyemi had been filled.
