According to the commissioner, a statement to this effect has been issued by the Honourable Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Hon. Ademola Ojo, who said that the announcement has put to rest all the socio and legal bickerings that have ensued since the demise of His Imperial Majesty, Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi III on April 22, 2022.

Ojo called on all citizens of Oyo State to join the government in celebrating this momentous occasion and lend their support to the new Alaafin of Oyo.

The commissioner prayed that his reign will bring peace, prosperity and unity to the historic Oyo Kingdom.

Stonix News reports that five members of the Oyomesi, just about 48 hours ago, had accused Governor Makinde of surreptitiously planning to restart the selection process of the Alaafin of Oyo, warning him to desist from what they termed as illegal.
