Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has approved the appointment of Prince Abimbola Owoade as the new Alaafin of Oyo Town.
The Oyo State Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Ademola Ojo, announced this in a statement on Friday, January 10, 2025.
Ojo said the governor gave his approval after due recommendation, thorough consultations, and divination by the Oyomesi.
The Oyomesi is a council of high-ranking chiefs and kingmakers in Oyo.
According to the commissioner, the announcement has put to rest all the socio and legal bickering that has ensued since the demise of the late Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III.
The late Adeyemi died on April 22, 2022.

“All citizens of Oyo State should join the government in celebrating this momentous occasion and lend their support to the new Alaafin of Oyo,” Ojo stated.
The commissioner also prayed that “Owoade’s reign will bring peace, prosperity, and unity to the historic kingdom of Oyo.”
Owoade is a Nigerian and Canadian entrepreneur, philanthropist, and president of 100279 Manitoba Limited, a real estate investment and financial services business in Manitoba, Canada.
He was born 48 years ago to the royal family of Owoade-Agunloye in Oyo Town.
