The new Alaafin of Oyo, Akeem Abimbola Owoade, has clarified that he has not disregarded any traditional rituals necessary for his coronation as the king of the historic city.

Recall, On January 13th, Governor Seyi Makinde officially appointed Owoade as the King by presenting him with the staff of office and a certificate of appointment.

He was expected to begin a series of traditional rites required for his enthronement.

“This headline is designed to mislead the public and misrepresent the esteemed Alaafin throne,” he asserted, emphasizing that the content of the article fails to align with its sensationalised headline.

Durojaiye further noted that the customary activities that would led to the coronation of the new Alaafin has been scheduled for April 4, 2025.

Reacting to claim that the Oba left Nigeria for Canada to boycott the rites, the media team said the state government have been carried along in every movement of the monarch.

Durojaiye said, “Kabiyesi’s trip is within the timeframe allowed by his coronation on April 4, 2025.

“Oba Owoade only returned to his Canada base to officially put things in proper order in his workplaces and other engagements in Canada,” he said.

He also assured Oyo people that the monarch would be back home in due time for the scheduled rites.
