Obasanjo Visits Alaafin of Oyo Amid Royal Title Feud, Tensions Ease

Former Nigerian President Obasanjo visited the Alaafin of Oyo amidst tensions following a feud with the Ooni of Ife. The visit came after controversies over royal titles in Yorubaland.

Obasanjo's visit to the monarch, his first since the Alaafin's installation in 2025, was accompanied by his daughter and dignitaries. The meeting aimed to address recent disagreements and clarify statements made by Obasanjo.

Meanwhile, the Lagos State chapter of the APC dismissed the former president's remarks as laughable and disgraceful, emphasizing their support for the current administration.
