Alaafin vs Ooni: Anxiety as Oyo Palace's Next Action Unveiled After Ultimatum Expires
The Oyo Palace is facing uncertainty as the deadline for the Ooni of Ife to revoke a chieftaincy title expires. Following a Supreme Court ruling in favor of the Alaafin of Oyo's exclusive right to confer titles across Yorubaland, tensions have risen between the two monarchs.
The Alaafin's camp has demanded the Ooni revoke a title within 48 hours, citing the court ruling as justification. The Ooni has been accused of overstepping his authority by conferring titles beyond his designated area.
With the ultimatum set to end, sources suggest the Alaafin may use the Supreme Court judgment to assert his position as the paramount ruler of Yorubaland. The outcome of this dispute remains uncertain as both sides stand firm on their positions.
