Ooni, Alaafin Differ Over Chieftaincy Title For Businessman
A dispute has erupted between the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Abimbola Owoade, and the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Ogunwusi, over a chieftaincy title conferred on Ibadan businessman Dotun Sanusi.
On Monday, the Alaafin issued a 48-hour ultimatum, describing the Ooni’s action as an “affront” and claiming only the Alaafin has exclusive authority to confer titles covering the entire Yorubaland.
But the Ooni’s spokesperson, Moses Olafare, said the monarch will not dignify the threat with a response, urging focus on unity rather than division.
The Alaafin insists failure to revoke the title would attract “consequences.”
