The Yoruba Council Worldwide has criticized the public tension between the Alaafin of Oyo and the Ooni of Ife, calling it a breach of Yoruba tradition. YCW President, Aare Hassan Oladotun, urged royal unity and mutual respect, warning that such conflicts undermine traditional institutions.
Meanwhile, the Ooni’s palace dismissed a viral video showing a seemingly awkward exchange between the monarchs, saying it was edited and misrepresented their cordial meeting at the West Africa Economic Summit in Abuja. The palace confirmed both rulers exchanged pleasantries and interacted peacefully.
