Alaafin Stool: Makinde sends message to royal houses
Oyo State governor, Seyi Makinde has declared that the exalted Alaafin stool remains a critical part of Yoruba heritage and history and as such, not for sale.

The governor appealed to all aspirants to the Alaafin stool and royal houses to end the tussle in order for quick emergence of a new Alaafin.
Makinde, who spoke in Yoruba language expressed readiness to crown a new Alaafin as soon as there is harmony among the royal households.
