Na wah oh! E be like sey chieftaincy matter don turn hot cake for Oyo State. The Supreme Court for Abuja don hear motion wey wan stop Oyo State Government from jacking up the Baale Ago-Oja position before dem fit settle the matter wey dey ground.
The Alaafin of Oyo, wey be the king, don take this matter carry go court since di late king, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, sabi dis palava well well. Dem don file dis motion wey dey ask the court make dem no allow Oyo governor and him deputy attorney-general create or recognize any new Baale Ago-Oja till dem finish the appeal wey dey suspended.
Wetin dey provoke dis wahala be sey dis same chieftaincy stool don dey non-existent since 2007 when Oyo State High Court talk say e no dey. Even Court of Appeal don confirm am for 2017. E be like sey Oyo government dey try revive wetin court don already declare dead like say na zombie matter.
Now, Alaafin no wan make any jara feelwak dis issue, e don call for court to stop dem from installing Alhaji Ganiyu Busari for February 13, 2026. Dem don set the coronation to happen for Olivet High School, but Alaafin don send strong warning say no be so e go be. E no wan make dem pierce their head, say dem go only make this kind move if dem wan disrespect the court.
The lawyers for Alaafin, Adeola Omotunde, don write letter to Governor Seyi Makinde, make am sabi say all dis plans fit land dem for wahala wey dem no fit handle. Dem don remind di governor sey di same Baale Ago-Oja title don cause enough wahala for court without any conclusion. No be small tori, dem even quote the previous judgment wey de clear say dis title no dey exist.
To crown any bodi wey di court don block? Na serious case, my friends. Dem dey tell di governor say if he no pull back, na him go carry di disgrace. E go bad make Oyo State behave like say dem dey above di law. Dis one na big pass mark for them as dem jolly-jolly for dem own govenment.
Di whole matter dey show how chieftaincy and politics dey intertwine for Naija, and how dem dey use am like small small chess game. As we dey wait for Supreme Court to settle this tori, we go dey follow am closely like paddy wey no wan lose him palaver. Na here we go end for now, but dis gist no go finish like that. More drama dey show face as dem dey prepare for hearing.
