Oba Abimbola Owoade Crowned The 46th Alaafin Of Oyo (Photos) (28190 Views)

Owoade succeeds the 45th Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, who died on April 22, 2022, at the age of 83.

The staff of office had earlier been presented to the new king by the Oyo state Governor, Seyi Makinde, in January.

He completed the compulsory 21-day traditional rites known as Oro Ipebi last Saturday, March 29.

The coronation event took place today (Saturday) at Oliveth Baptist High School in Oyo, where Governor Seyi Makinde led a host of dignitaries, including notable Nigerians.

Dignitaries present at the coronation included the Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin; the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi; the Soun of Ogbomoso, Oba Ghandi Olaoye; Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi; and Aare Oona Kankanfo of Yoruba, Iba Gani Adams, among others.

His coronation marked the beginning of the process of enthroning a new king for the ancient and one of the most revered stool in the Yoruba Kingdom.

Today’s event also signalled the beginning of a new era for the sons and daughters of Oyo Town, the state and the entire Yoruba race home and abroad.

Good.

The greatest king of the entire yoruba race.
I know fabricators of lies, especially from Osun state will come here to argue nonsense about Ọọni of ifẹ.
From history, Ọọni was never meant to be a king. HE WAS JUST AN ABỌRẸ TO ALAAFIN OF ỌYỌ.
WHAT WE CAN CALL COUP AND DISAGREEMENT MADE ỌỌNI A KING

Congratulations to him and may his reign be long and peaceful.

Seyi Makinde has the unenviable record of burying all the first class Obas in Oyo state who died, like the Olubadan of Ibadan land, Soun of Ogbomoso and Alafin of Oyo and the privilege of enthroning their successors peacefully too.

He also have the unenviable record of burying 2 former governors of Oyo state in his 6 years on the saddle as governor.

MODIFIED; Another ex governor, late Victor Olunloyo dies at a ripe age, making it 3 former governors that Seyi makinde have the unenviable record of burying!
