Oyo state governor, ‘Seyi Makinde, has said that his administration will continue to ensure that due process and laid down rules are followed in governing the state.

The governor added that his administration would maintain a record of not interfering in traditional institutions and also remain impartial in the process of selecting traditional rulers.

Governor Makinde stated this on Saturday, at the coronation of Oba Abdulakeem Abimbola Owoade I as the 46th Alaafin of Oyo, held at Olivet Baptist High School, Oyo.

He described the ascension of Oba Abimbola as a testament to his administration’s credibility as a stickler to due process, stating that his ascension is also a testament to the enduring spirit and resilience of Oyo indigenes.

Governor Makinde called on Oba Owoade to work hard for the progress of Oyo, assuring that the state government would continue to play a vital role in ensuring the growth and development of the state and promoting Oyo’s World Sango Festival as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage.

He equally charged those challenging the emergence of the Alaafin in court to accept Oba Owoade as God’s choice, which is also supported by the people and the government of Oyo State.

He added: “Oyo is a historical town that is a custodian of rich history and tradition and it would continue to play a pivotal role in the growth and development of our dear state.
