We are as United as ever.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMisunderstanding can happen at any given point in time. It is natural. What is important is the amicable resolution, in order not to let the misunderstanding degenerate into violence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNone of the Oyo Mesi members has a favoured aspirant, as all the contestants are equal before us. For the umpteenth time, we are conscientious, thorough, not money conscious and greedy\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Signs of crack in the council surfaced at the weekend when the Iba Saamu of Oyo, High Chief Lamidi Olayanju and three other chiefs distanced themselves from the 10 persons shortlisted for the vacant stool, saying he knew nothing about it.<\/p>\n<p>He said he confirmed the news on the ten shortlisted aspirants from the Bashorun but that the decision was not jointly taken by the Council members.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI called Basorun and he told me that he was the one behind the news that 10 persons had been shortlisted. Four of us know nothing about it. When we completed the interview on Thursday, we all agreed that we would meet next Tuesday to do that but hearing that 10 persons had been shortlisted on the radio is news to me. I called Basorun and he told me he authored the news.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI heard it on the radio that we had shortlisted 10 but I am telling you I am not part of that and I called four of us and they said they did not know anything about it. Agbaakin (High Chief Asinmiyu) told me he was not part of the decision to pick 10 contestants; Akinniku (High Chief Amusa Yusuf) also told me that he was not part of it; Alapini (High Chief Rasheed Sheu) is indisposed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked if the rest of the kingmakers would abide by the shortlisted contestants, he said: \u201cCan you, yourself, abide by such a decision? We don\u2019t know anything about it, we didn\u2019t know when he picked them, so, we can\u2019t abide by such.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we agree with him and the remaining contestants drag all of us to court, how are we going to defend what we were not part of?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Oyo Traditional Council also known as Oyomesi has said all the 65 aspirants for the stool of the Alaafin will be presented before Ifa oracle for consultation.
