EKO HOT BLOG reports that Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has said that the processes that would lead to the emergence of the next Alaafin of Oyo will be strictly based on the Alaafin of Oyo Chieftaincy Declaration.

Makinde made this revelation while speaking at the burial ceremony organised for the late Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi on Saturday.

Makinde has now said that the emergence of the new monarch would be guided by the Alaafin of Oyo Chieftaincy Declaration.

He told the people that the process to select a new Alaafin will not go beyond the Alaafin of Oyo Chieftaincy Declaration.

Makinde described the late monarch as an Encyclopaedia of history and culture.

Makinde said, “Today is a day of celebration for us as we are celebrating a life that was well-lived and impactful.

“Let me share one or two things with us on my relationship with the late Kabiyesi.

“So, Baba was an Encyclopaedia of our history and culture.

“I can only say that we have lost a king that is irreplaceable but we have to accept the fact that we cannot question God.

“Let me also use this opportunity to let our people in Oyo know that the process to select a new Alaafin will not go beyond the Alaafin of Oyo Chieftaincy Declaration.

“I told them that a new Alaafin will be selected only through the Declaration that was signed. So, on behalf of the government and the people of Oyo State, I want to greet all of us.”
