The 84-year-old retired Archbishop of Ilesa Methodist Church of Nigeria, and one of the Princes contesting for the vacant throne of Alaafin of Oyo from Agunloye Ruling House, Ayo Ladigbolu, has faulted the delay in the selection process of the next Alaafin of Oyo.

The retired Archbishop, therefore, demanded explanation from the Kingmakers on why the continued delay in the selection process of a new Alaafin, since the transition of Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III in 2022.

It would be recalled that late Oba Adeyemi III, the third Alaafin from the Alowolodu Ruling House, died in the late hours of Friday, April 22, 2022 at the Afe Babalola University Teaching Hospital, Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State.

The retired Archbishop, who joined 47 other candidates jostling for the vacant stool of Alaafin, noted that the public was assuming that there would have been criteria already set by tradition and law for the selection process, which he said the kingmakers would be conversant with and would be able to adhere to.

He said: “I am one of the contestants and that the process for the selection of a new Alaafin started a while ago. It started late last year and people are still longing and waiting, because normally, there was an interview conducted by the kingmakers, which involved all the contestants.

“We believe that to be the part of the system, scrutinising and determining the suitability or otherwise of all those who are contestants.

“The public is assuming that there would have been criteria already set by tradition and by law for the selection process, which we believe the kingmakers will be conversant with and will be able to adhere.

“And of course, the governor cannot fold his arms, because this is a matter of administration of the state and an entity, because a prominent town within that state is involved. That is the Oyo community.

“So, we are all still waiting and we don’t want to work on rumours, we don’t want to work on hearsay, we are assuming that now the campaigns are over, the  electioneering concerns are over, that something concrete and positive will be done.

“The selection process is not supposed to be an overbearing influence, but the state has a part to play; it has a major role to play, but the major stakeholders are the kingmakers and they have been properly constituted and I believe they have a free atmosphere to operate, why they are delaying is for them to explain?

“As far as the beginning part of the process is concerned, there has been no complaints from contestants including me, because we were all made to appear before the kingmakers; we were asked relevant questions.

“In actual fact, they responded to our own questions too, because I was one of those who asked them specific questions for clarification and they responded honourably and honestly to my questions,” Ladigbolu stated.
