Despite the traditional and consistent friction between the former Ooni of Ife and the Alaafin of Oyo, the Alaafin, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi finally broke silence on the departure of the Ooni, Oba Okunade Sijuwade saying Ooni, as an institution, will live forever.
This was disclosed on behalf of the Alaafin by the Chairman of Oranyan Planning Committee for, retired Archbishop Ayo Ladigbolu in Oyo town.
The cleric said, “let me tell you that Ooni never dies. Ooni is not dead. What happened was the going home of Oba Okunade Sijuwade, Olubuse II. The Ooni lives forever.
When asked to advise Ile-Ife kingmakers who are in the process of selecting a new king, he said, “We are not entitled to speak on this issue. The only competent authority is Alaafin and when the time is appropriate, he will make comments.”
