Oyo Mesi faction opposes fresh selection process for Alaafin

A faction of the Oyo town kingmakers, known as the Oyo Mesi, have kicked against any plan by the Oyo State Government to commence a fresh process to select the Alaafin of Oyo

Counsel for the kingmakers, Kunle Sobaloju (SAN), wrote the Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, warning against restarting the process to select a new Alaafin of Oyo.

The kingmakers, through Sobaloju, were reacting to a media report suggesting the move to discard the process concluded initially by the kingmakers

He advised the governor not to do anything that could prejudice pending appeals in courts.

Following the death of the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, on April 22, 2022, there was a crisis as the Oyomesi engaged the Oyo State government in a legal battle over the selection of the new monarch.
