You Are Behaving As If There Is No Authority To Call You To Order – Alaafin Blasts Ooni Of Ife, Gives 48-Hour Ultimatum
Alaafin of Oyo has criticized the Ooni of Ife for conferring a chieftaincy title without proper authority, giving a 48-hour ultimatum to revoke the title. The Alaafin stated that the Ooni does not have the exclusive right to confer titles beyond his local government area, challenging his authority.
He emphasized that the Ooni's power is limited to his jurisdiction and does not extend across Yorubaland. The businessman who received the title, Okanlomo Yorubaland, was urged to return it within the given timeframe.
Failure to comply would result in consequences. The Alaafin stressed the importance of peace and unity in the region for meaningful development.
The statement from the Director of Media Publicity highlighted the need for respect for traditional authorities and their boundaries.
