Oyo Govt Speaks on Rumoured Emergence of New Alaafin
The Government of Oyo State has disclosed that it is yet to approve or recognise anyone as the new Alaafin of Oyo.
This is followed by the rumour that was on social media within and around the state on Wednesday that one of the contestants for the Alaafin of Oyo stool, Prince Lukman Mofojudola Ayinla Gbadegesin Agunloye, had been appointed as the new monarch.
Reacting, the Commissioner for Information, Culture, and Tourism, Dr. Wasiu Olatubosun, while speaking with newsmen on Thursday urged residents to desist from spreading such rumours.
“The process is ongoing. The state government has not approved or recognise anyone as the new Alaafin of Oyo”, he said.
The stool of the Alaafin of Oyo has been vacant since the transition of the 45th Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Atanda Olayiwola Adeyemi.
