By There are insinuations around town that the Alafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi is about to install a new Mayegun of Yoruba Land.
According to Esho Promotions Uk on Facebook, the move started this week . In a picture showing Wasiu Ayinde Marshal (K1), Alaafin of Oyo and other eminent personalities, arrangements are already in too gear.
Relying on the picture, a Facebook fan of K1 said he I sure the Fuji King will ace the Yoruba title, has there was an obvious relationship between K1 and Alaafin.
Quoting him ” I was up/close at the birthday of Osolo of Osolo last year which the Alaafin and KWAM1 was in attendance, I tell you this for free, the Monarch truly loves and respect the musician a lot. Won’t be surprised if this tilts KWAM1’s way. Who doesn’t know that this position or titles today are either based on popularity contest or who has the heaviest money bag”.
The organizing committee of the event led by K1 himself in collaboration with selected Alaafin’s top palace cheifs are right now in the acient town of Oyo to put finishing touches and final preparatory stages to the milestone and land mark event that will further sign post and announce K1 as the first ever Maiyegun of Yoruba land, Courtesy the Iku Baba Yeye, HRN Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, CON, the Alaafin of Oyo.
However, many are asking if Alaafin can install Maiyegun of Yoruba land considering that he is only King over Oyo kingdom and not the whole Yoruba land, that singular authority lies with Oni of Ife but some are saying the Aare Onakakanfo given to the former OPC leader Otunba Gani Adams also covers the entire Yoruba land..
Meanwhile, trust K1 and his antecedents on events like this in his honour, he will not allow the day to go without a magnificent and elaborate ceremony as he does not do things on Half measure. Little wonder,he and his team are earnestly in Oyo to tighten loose ends and put in place all necessary logistics of the much anticipated moment for the Olu Aye of Fuji King Wasiu Ayinde Omogbolahan.
