The family of the late Alaafin Abubakar Siyanbola Oladigbolu spoke with journalists in Oyo yesterday and insisted that the biological grandson of the 40th Alaafin of Oyo, Prince Afeez Siyanbola shall be the new Alaafin for peace to reign.
According to Princess Faderera Ladigbolu, a granddaughter of Oba Ladigbolu, we don’t need to bribe any of the kingmakers (Oyomesi) before crowning the heir apparent to the stool of Alaafin
The princess further explained that Siyanbola was the only one to fill the vacant stool of Alaafin. Those who are looking down on him are suffering from mental illness.
Prince Siyanbola is the youngest surviving biological grandson of Oba Ladigbolu. He needs no fabricated lies as history to be known as a new monarch.
Those saying he is too young to mount the throne are patients of electroconvulsive therapy; Abubakar Kankan Musa, popularly known as Mansa Musa, became the king of the old Mali empire at the age of 32 years. He performed way beyond his predecessors.
David was taken from a cattle range to rule Israel, and Solomon was full of wisdom no one expected.
We have told our eldest uncle, Bishop Lawrence Ladigbolu, not to waste our valuable ticket to the throne. He can’t be Alaafin at 88 years old. That’s a very big insult to the Ladigbolu family. If he happens to be in his sixties, that could be considered, but not in that age.
We know that only the Almighty gives a longer life, but in reality, there’s scientific evidence of death target age.
We need Bishop Ladigbolu as Baba Oba (King’s Father) more than anything. He should step down and start distributing his wealth of wisdom and support to the young Siyanbola Oladigbolu to be the new Alaafin.
Those poisoning the mind of Bishop Ladigbolu against a young prince don’t want good for him. The young man has nothing against Baba Ladigbolu.
He was here last month, and I asked him. He told me he had never in his entire life said anything to water down Baba Bishop.
He told me that if God almighty eventually makes him the next Alaafin, he is going to depend on Bishop Ladigbolu’s wisdom to rule as the new Alaafin.
We are fully aware of all political drama, and that’s why we insisted that no older person would be allowed to be new alaafin. The last time our family (Ladigbolu) smelt the throne was 57 years ago.
We can’t afford to lose our thicket to the same ruling House where the immediate past alaafin came from.
We know the politicians drumming support for Bishop Ladigbolu. No matter how calm and speechless they are acting about it, we know their substantial intentions and interests . Not under the surface of health such would be allowed.
