Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has declared that some people came to him in a bid to influence the selection process of the new Alaafin of Oyo, but he refused to listen to them.

Makinde made this revelation during the coronation of Oba Abdulakeem Abimbola Owoade I as the 46th Alaafin of Oyo.

The event was held on Saturday at Olivet Baptist High School, Oyo.

Makinde while addressing the gathering noted that some people came to meet him to influence the selection process of the new Alaafin.

He, however, said that the oracle didn’t pick their candidates.

The governor while speaking further, maintained that his administration will continue to ensure that due process and laid down rules are followed in governing the state.

He added that his administration would maintain a record of not interfering in traditional institutions.

Makinde described the ascension of Owoade as a testament to his administration’s credibility as a stickler to due process.

The governor said, “Some people came to meet me to influence the selection process of the new Alaafin, but the oracle didn’t pick their candidates. The person that Ifa and the people of Oyo chose is the person we are witnessing his coronation here today as the 46th Alaafin of Oyo.

“Oyo is one of the oldest civilisations in Yoruba history. So, when they brought to me the first selection process and the person went on air to declare himself as the Alaafin-elect, I conducted an investigation and discovered that some people were bribed.

“Thereafter, I asked my conscience if the Alaafin’s stool was for sale, and I said no because I cannot defend it before my maker. Today, the people of Oyo State can be proud again that we have a new Kabiyesi that represents the interest of our people and that of our ancestors.”
