…the sidelined Royal Houses of the Atiba Dynasty, namely, Adelabu, Adesiyan, Adediran, Tella Agbojulogun, Adesokan Baba Idode, Adesetan, Tella Okitipapa, Olanite, Abidekun, are considering this as an historical moment to seek justice for our exclusion from the throne of our progenitor, Alaafin Atobatele Atiba… we are confident that the law will eventually be on our side, our prayers remain that the Oyo Mesi will see the wisdom in doing right by us, and His Excellency, Governor Seyi Makinde will...
As such, this declaration by His Excellency, Governor Makinde, has put paid to the mischievous attempt of some prince, who is also an aspirant to the Oyo throne, to short-circuit the selection process, by sponsoring disinformation in the public, by claiming he had been endorsed as the next Alaafin or is now the ‘Alaafin-elect’. This was a rather unfortunate exhibition of desperation and a subversive inclination by one seeking to destabilise the due process of selecting the Alaafin.
From the foregoing outline, it is quite disturbing and should be a subject of concern that out of the 11 sons that survived Atiba, Alaafins have only been selected from the lineages of the first and the fourth sons – Agunloye and Alowolodu. These two have alternately sat on the throne for approximately 150 years, and hence considered it as given that the throne would ONLY rotate between them.
As such, if the laws of natural justice are to be followed, the proper hierarchical line of sons should be retored and made inviolable, and hence the descendants of Agboin Adelabu should definitely be the next to produce the newer Alaafin to rule Oyo Kingdom.
