Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has approved the appointment of Prince Abimbola Akeem Owoade as the new Alaafin of Oyo.
The announcement was disclosed on Friday through a statement released by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Sulaimon Olanrewaju, in Ibadan, the state capital.
The revered Alaafin position has remained vacant since the passing of Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi III, who held the title from 1970 until his death in 2022.
