The Agunloye royal family, has cautioned against acts by any individual or group of persons capable of creating disaffection among royal families in the ancient town, saying the process should be allowed to run and produce the next Alaafin in accordance with laid down tradition.
Prince Kamorudeen Tella of the Agunloye family, said this, following a report, that some kingmakers have forwarded name of the preferred Alaafin to Governor Seyi Makinde.
According to Prince Tella, those behind the purported news he described as sponsored, are the same people who connived with few others to forward a name that already that had since been rejected by the governor for violating due consideration and process.
Prince Tella, maintained that all aspirants jostling for the Alaafin stool should shun any act of desperation, saying only God enthrones who alone pleases Him, while reaffirming the avowed commitment of the Agunloye family to the Makinde led government and its position on following due process in the selection of the next Alaafin.
Tella said, "We know what's going on and what they're doing. This issue is no longer with the governor and those behind the sponsored fake news should leave the governor out of it."
"Only two people were behind the purported name forwarded to the governor for approval and the governor has duly replied them.'
"He has even gone to meet with them on two separate occasions, in fact, he met with them during his political campaign and insisted due process be followed in the selection of the next Alaafin."
"They failed to comply with the governor's directive and busy themselves going about sponsoring fake news. Just two people are behind that fake news, other aspirants are not involved."
"The governor is a good man with good intentions and we're solidly behind him because we trust him to do what's best for us in Oyo kingdom," he said.
