It is authoritative that the Ogbomoso kingmakers met yesterday at Aafin Ogbomoso to have a session with the aspirants to the throne of Soun, who are all members of Baiyewuwon/Olaoye Ruling House, whose turn it is to produce the next Soun.
Shortly after, news began to make the rounds that one of the contenders Prince Afolabi Ghandi Olaoye is the choice. But this could not be impeccably confirmed. But his name has been gaining currency in recent times. He is also said to be close to Nigeria’s Vice President Professor Yemi Osinbajo, who both are pastors of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), and is alleged that Osinbajo is rooting for him.
In the meantime nothing is cast in stone yet. We keep our fingers crossed as events begin to unfold rapidly.
