The newly appointed Alaafin of Oyo has debunked claim that he has abandoned the mapped-out traditional rites expected of him.
A member of the media team for the Alaafin, Bode Durojaiye said reports that the new monarch has abdicated the required rites is grossly mischievous.
Describing the report as unfair, Durojaiye said the new Oba Abimbola Owoade could not have halted traditional rites which are yet to commence.
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.
