Ooni’s Palace Denies Chieftaincy Title for Baba Ijesha

The Ooni’s Palace addressed claims regarding the conferral of a chieftaincy title on Olanrewaju Omiyinka, popularly known as Baba Ijesha, following his recent visit. The palace's official spokesman, Mose Olafer, stated that while Baba Ijesha presented gifts, including a vehicle, he was not formally installed with a chieftaincy title.

The palace acknowledged its long history of supporting individuals through generous acts, including donations of vehicles, but stressed that these gestures should not be interpreted as conferring traditional titles. The controversy surrounding Baba Ijesha's visit gained significant attention on social media, with mixed opinions regarding his past legal troubles and recent release from sentencing.

The palace's denial of the title has intensified the debate, prompting calls for greater clarity on the matter. Baba Ijesha expressed gratitude for his second chance and indicated his intention to focus on rebuilding his career and personal life.
