The ruling house of Olufayo Afin Oro of the Oro kingdom in the Irepodun local government area of Kwara State has declared that the royal stool of the area is not for sale to the highest bidder.
The head of the Olufayo Ruling house of Aafin Oro, Chief Tejumola Titiloye, who is also the head of the Olufayo/Oluode compound, Iludun-Oro, stated this during an interview with newsmen in Ilorin, the state capital yesterday.
Titiloye said that history is sacrosanct and should not be bent to suit anyone.
A group of persons had said in a publication that the Olufayo ruling house had disclaimed Prince Joel Oyatoye Titiloye in the obaship matters.
However, the ruling house said that Prince Oyatoye is a bonafide member of the Olufayo Afin Oro royal family and entitled to contest for the royal stool.
“Olufayo Afin Oro Ruling House hereby affirms that Prince Joel Olaniyi Oyatoye is a bonafide member of our family and we wish to state that he is eminently qualified and entitled to the throne of Oro Kingdom.
“History is sacrosanct and cannot be amended to suit the interest of any person or group of persons in an attempt to murder destiny or aid character assassination of an innocent soul”, he said.
He, therefore, urged the public to disregard a social media publication sponsored by some individuals “who are out to distort the history of the great family.”
He described the publication as frivolous, self-serving, unwarranted, condemnable and uncharitable to the good people of Oro Kingdom and humanity in general.
He also urged the author or sponsors of the said publication to desist from such a dastardly act in the interest of peace and progress of the Oro community.
