My people! Make una gather here, I get big gist wey dey shake Oyo land well well. The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Akeem Owoade, don find himself for serious wahala. Some princes from Oyo, wey sabi their level, don carry am go High Court. Na dem be Ladigbolu Adegboyega, Owoade Tesleem, Adeyemi Adesina, and Adeyemi Adebayo. Dem don file case wey dem mark HOY/18/2026, and the matter no be small, o!
For this gbas-gbos wey dem carry enter court, the princes dey beg wetin dem call perpetual injunction. This one be like say dem wan stop the Alaafin from showing face for some gatherings wey dem gree say no dey fit him status as the king of the Yoruba people. Dem claim say make no body see Alaafin as person wey dey below any other Oba for Yorubaland. E no go too funny sha if person dey reason am!
Dem still dey para for court nyash, say this Alaafin wey dey occupy that big chair, na him be the true symbol wey join the whole Yoruba race together. Dem talk say the position of Alaafin no be joke, as e dey carry historical importance for all over Nigeria and West Africa. Dem dey insist say him na the chief ruler wey get power to appoint chiefs and leaders for Oyo town, Oyo North and Oyo South. Omo, dis matter don turn matter o!
According to wetin dem write for court, dem don summon the Alaafin make e show face, whether na himself go land or make e carry lawyer come. If e no do am, wahala go dey. Them don also talk say no body fit come use him power overshadow Alaafin or make am dey attend functions wey no go fit his dignity. E be like say these princes no wan hear word at all!
As e be so, den dey para against Alaafin, dey tell court say him dey required to maintain him dignity as the paramount traditional leader. Dem no wan see am dey do things wey fit make him look small or be like say him dey answer to anybody. Chai! Na serious gbege be this!
As for the matter inside the palace, the spokesman, Bode Durojaiye, no fit talk because nobody fit reach am for phone. Chai! This suit na continuation of long wahala wey don dey happen between Oyo State Council of Obas and Chiefs. E get as dem dey rearranging and grading traditional leaders for Oyo State, e don set fire for ground wey dey cause plenty tension. As e sweet for dem, na dem big men wey dey define who dey above who. Omo, e sweet no be small!
Wetin dey baffle people be say, the Alaafin suppose attend the inauguration of the council by Governor Seyi Makinde wey happen on January 16, 2026, but the man no show face. People dey reason say why? This wahala don dey sef between Alaafin and Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, wey dey battle over who dey carry the crown pass.
So now, no date don dey fixed for the hearing of this case. Make we dey watch am, no be say we go miss wetin go happen next o! If dem fit settle this matter without wahala, e go good. Time go tell how dis matter go take end.
