Governor Seyi Makinde has approved the appointment of Abimbola Owoade as the new Alaafin of Oyo.
This announcement is contained in a statement released on Friday by the Commissioner for Information and Guidance, Dotun Oyelade.
According to the statement, Mr. Owoade was chosen after extensive consultations and traditional divinations conducted by Oyo kingmakers, the Oyomesi.
“Prince Abimbola Akeem Owoade, after thorough consultations and guesswork, was recommended by the Oyomesi and approved by the Governor Seyi Makinde as the new Alaafin of Oyo,” the statement read.
The process of selecting a new Alaafin was marred by controversies and litigation.
The former Alaafin, Lamidi Adeyemi, passed away in April 2022. However, there have been disputes between the state government and the Oyo kingmakers known as Oyomesi.
The kingmakers had already selected Lukman Gbadegesin as Alaafin's elect. However, the state government appeared not to support the Oyomesi's choice.
The kingmakers approached the court in 2023 on the selection process.
It is not yet clear whether this announcement resolves all existing controversies surrounding the bank.
