Chieftaincy Title: ’48 Hours My Foot, Ooni Will Not Respond To Alaafin’s Empty Threat’ – Palace Aide

The Spokesperson for Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Ogunwusi, Moses Olafare, has described the 48-hour threat by the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Abimbola Owoade, to his principal over the reversal of the title conferred on a popular Ibadan-based business mogul, Dotun Sanusi, as an empty threat.

Papers News reports that in a statement by his Director of Media and Publicity, Bode Durojaiye, the monarch asserted that the Ooni lacks the exclusive right to confer the chieftaincy title of Okanlomo of Yorubaland on the businessman.

He fumed that the Ooni’s action challenged his authority, adding that the exclusive right to confer titles that extend across Yorubaland rests solely with the Alaafin.
