The Oyo Mesi Traditional Council has revealed that 65 contestants will proceed to the next stage of the selection process of the Alaafin stool after they were cleared.
This revelation was made by Regent and Basorun of Oyo, Chief Yussuf Ayoola recently.
According to a statement credited to the Chief, the remaining process would no longer be limited to the 10 contestants shortlisted earlier.
The contestants will now proceed for Ifa consultation and whoever the oracle picks among the aspirants will be crowned the next Alaafin of Oyo.
The statement read: “All contestants who appeared for the interview are qualified for the next level, which is Ifa consultation, after the meeting of members of the Oyo Mesi.
“Whoever emerges among the aspirants will be the candidate and the next Alaafin of Oyo.
“There is no rift among members of the Oyo Mesi contrary to insinuations and misinformation milling around. We are as united as ever. Misunderstanding can happen at any given point in time. It is natural. What is important is the amicable resolution so as not to let the misunderstanding degenerate into violence.
“None of the Oyo Mesi members has a favoured aspirant as all the contestants are equal before us. For the umpteenth time, we are conscientious, not money conscious and greedy.”
