    Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has approved the appointment of Prince Abimbola Akeem Owoade as the new Alaafin of Oyo, amidst controversy among kingmakers.

    The announcement was made by the Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Prince Dotun Oyelade, who stated that Owoade was recommended by the Oyomesi after thorough consultations and divinations.
    However, some kingmakers have opposed the appointment, claiming that Prince Lukman Adelodun Gbadegesin was already selected as the Alaafin-elect. The opposing kingmakers, including High Chief Yusuf Akinade, Bashorun of Oyo, and High Chief Wakeel Akindele, Lagunna of Oyo, among others, have written to the governor, urging him to suspend the appointment process until the court resolves the matter.

Ademola Ojo, has called on all citizens of Oyo State to support the new Alaafin and celebrate this significant moment. The government has expressed optimism that the reign of the new Alaafin will bring peace, prosperity, and unity to the historic Oyo Kingdom.
