The Oyomesi and Baba Iyaji have the responsibility to select the next Alaafin of Oyo from the remaining heirs of the Atiba Ruling House.

I believe that the Oyo State government will stand on the side of history and do what is honourable, just and fair, by giving ALL the heirs of Alaafin Atiba the opportunity to contest for what is ligitmately theirs by right and ancestry, without discrimination or favour, as many have presently raised genuine concerns about the manner in which the selection process has been unfolding. May wisdom and good judment prevail.

Section 38.1.1. of the white paper states that the Oyo South Local Government Council Chieftaincy Committee should amend the Alaafin of Oyo Chieftaincy Declaration to provide for ONLY 1 ruling house , including ALL the descendants of Atiba. Timely attention, intervention and wisdom of the Oyo state government in ensuring transparency on a simple matter like this would go a long way in dispelling some rumors on ground.

This mandates the Honourable Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters to honour and implement the 1995 Oloko commision of inquiry white paper, which was gazetted in 2001 . Consequently, the Oloko white paper renders the 1976 Ladeinde Commision of Inquiry valid, honourable and implementable.
