The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Akeem Owoade, has dismissed claims of being in a supremacy tussle with any traditional ruler, including the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Ogunwusi. The monarch made the clarification in a statement on Thursday through his Director of Media and Publicity, Bode Durojaiye, in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital. Earlier in the week, the Alaafin had issued a 48-hour ultimatum to the Ooni, demanding the revocation of the title. However, in the latest statement, the Alaafin maintained that he was not in any supremacy contest, noting that his role as a custodian of Yoruba culture and tradition remains unshaken. Quoting the monarch, Durojaiye said: “Why would Alaafin get into any battle for supremacy with any Oba, either in Yorubaland or anywhere in the universe?
