Yoruba Youths Oppose Traditional Title for Former Governor Amid Bandit Attacks

The Yoruba Youth Council (YYC) opposes the plan to confer the prestigious title of Obaloyin of Yorubaland on former Zamfara Governor Abdulaziz Yari by the Alaafin of Oyo. Dr.

Adebayo Ogunleye criticized the decision, citing the grave misstep and risk to Yoruba values. The council highlights the insecurity and banditry in Zamfara during Yari's tenure.

This controversy follows the recent installation of influential figures by the Alaafin, including Seyi Tinubu and Dotun Sanusi.
