Empty threat of dead empire – Ooni of Ife replies Alaafin of Oyo over 48hrs ultimatum
Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, responded to the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Abimbola Owoade, regarding a 48-hour ultimatum to withdraw a Chieftaincy title. The Ooni dismissed the supremacy battle, calling the ultimatum an "empty threat of a dead empire." The Alaafin had demanded the withdrawal of the Okanlomo Yorubaland title conferred on a businessman, Chief Dotun Sanusi.
The Ooni's spokesperson, Moses Olafare, stated that the monarch was focused on business ventures and job creation, rather than engaging in a supremacy dispute. Olafare highlighted the Ooni's upcoming project, the Ojaja smart city in Ibadan, as evidence of his commitment to development.
The Ooni's camp awaits the expiration of the ultimatum, emphasizing their focus on progress over traditional power struggles.
