Alaafin Prepares To Release Supreme Court Ruling After Ooni’s Ultimatum
Alaafin of Oyo is preparing to release a Supreme Court ruling following an ultimatum from Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Ogunwusi. The ultimatum was issued after a series of meetings at the Alaafin palace to discuss the way forward.
Alaafin's aide had demanded that Ooni revoke a title conferred on a businessman within 48 hours, citing the Supreme Court ruling as the defense. Alaafin accused Ooni of exceeding his authority and breaching the apex court's pronouncement.
The ultimatum has since expired, with Alaafin possibly unveiling the Supreme Court judgment to reinforce his position as the paramount ruler of Yorubaland. Amidst the uncertainty, there are differing opinions on the matter, with some advising Alaafin to consider legal action to reassert his authority.
Legal practitioners have also weighed in, with one emphasizing that the Supreme Court judgment does not grant exclusive authority to Alaafin.
