Isese Religious Association Defends Alaafin of Oyo's Throne
The Isese Religious Association in Oyo, Oyo State, has warned the public, including bloggers, against actions that could incite discord among traditional institutions in Yorubaland. Chief Onifade Olanipekun, Chairman of the Isese Worshippers Committee and Asiwaju Awo of Oyo, made this statement during a press briefing at the Palace in Oyo town.
He stressed that traditional institutions are vital to Yoruba history and identity, deserving of respect and constructive dialogue. The association rejected claims circulating on social media that the Isese community and Sàngó worshippers have not supported His Imperial Majesty, the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Abimbola Akeem Owoade I. Chief Olanipekun reaffirmed the community's longstanding commitment to the Alaafin's throne and the preservation of Oyo's cultural heritage.
He emphasized that genuine support should not be judged by social media interactions but through responsible actions and cultural advocacy.
