84-year-old retired archbishop, 47 others in race for next Alaafin

One of the two ruling houses in Oyo, the Agunloye family, has submitted a list of 48 princes to be considered for selection for the next Alaafin of Oyo, the ancient town that is regarded as the bastion of Yoruba culture and traditional religious system.

They submitted the names less than two months after the death of Alaafin Lamidi Adeyemi III, who died in April at the age of 83. “The only odd single circumstance came about due to exigencies known to historians and most adult members of the public in the 1970s.”Goke Eesuola, a lawyer and activist, said Mr Ladigbolu’s aspiration is fueled by his closeness to the late monarch, but fears over his age and position in the Christian faith, which may limit his commitment to traditional ritual practices.
