Gatekeepers News reports that the Basorun , who doubles as the regent of the town, summoned an emergency meeting of all members of the Oyo Traditional Council ( Oyo Mesi) upon receipt of the names.
The Director of Media and Publicity to the Alaafin of Oyo, Bode Durojaiye, disclosed this in a statement made available on Thursday.
The statement read, “In attendance at the meeting was the Chairperson, Atiba Local Government, Alhaja Kafilat.
At the end of the meeting, it was resolved that all the contestants should, as a matter of utmost concern, attend a peace meeting on Saturday, 3rd of September, 2022, at the Agbala Ogun Hall, in the Palace.”
“Thereafter, from next week Monday the 4th till Thursday, the 8th of September, 2022, 10 contestants will appear for interview on daily basis.”
“There will be a break on Friday, as no interview will take place, to pave the way for the Jumat service.
The interview will resume on Monday, the 12th and last till the 15th of September, 2022.”
Recall that Governor Seyi Makinde had been previously attacked by some contestants for alleged bias in the selection.
The contestants claim the government narrowed the selection to the Agunloye Ruling House alone instead of being thrown open to all Princes of Alaafin Atiba descendants.
The throne became vacant following the death of Oba Lamidi Adeyemi who reigned for 52 years and died on April 22 at the age of 83.
