PRESS RELEASE:

30 DAYS ULTIMATUM: CALL MAKINDE TO ORDER – MURIC

As Oyo kingmakers gave Governor Seyi Makinde 30 days ultimatum and nine royal families in the kingdom tackled him over the mishandling of the appointment of the Alaafin, the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has appealed to stakeholders in the state to call the governor to order before he sets Yorubaland on fire.

Making the appeal on Friday, 17th January, 2025 was the Founder and Executive Director of MURIC, Professor Ishaq Akintola.

His full message reads:

“The crisis engulfing Oyo town over the choice of a new Alaafin of Oyo escalated on Wednesday, 15th January, 2025 when five Oyo kingmakers and Prince Lukman Gbadegesin gave Governor Seyi Makinde 30 days to reverse the appointment of Prince Hakeem Owoade (https://guardian.ng/news/nigeria/metro/alaafin-five-oyo-kingmakers-give-makinde-30-days-to-reverse-owoades-appointment/).

“Similarly, nine royal families of Oyo Kingdom who are called the Atiba Nine (Atiba Mesan) have rejected the appointment of Prince Abimbola Owoade as the new Alaafin of Oyo. The Atiba Nine described his appointment as unacceptable and a blatant disregard for Oyo’s revered traditions (https://www.infinitylive.com.ng/nine-oyo-royal-families-tackle-gov-makinde-awise-agbaye-prof-wande-abimbola-over-owoades-choice-as-alaafin-elect/).

“These two developments are the last straw that broke the camel’s back. They have stripped Makinde’s romance with Owoade of any scintilla of traditional value, honour and dignity. Not only that, they have also rubbished Makinde’s flair for Ifa divination abroad.

“This must not be part of our history. It can only be the first time in ‘geography’ that the traditionally entrenched Yoruba people will hear of Ifa divination all the way from America particularly for the all-important assignment of picking a king, nay, the highly revered Alaafin of Oyo. Social media is awash with this curious, mysterious and make-belief Panbolanbola Egere So-So-So at the backyard of the White House.

“As the storm gathers, we appeal to all stakeholders in Oyo State and Yorubaland as a whole to intervene. Our appeal goes to state governors in the region, ex-governors of the South-West and opinion leaders.

“In particular, we charge leaders of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to make Governor Makinde see reason. His recklessness and lawlessness on the issue of installation of traditional rulers (not only that of Alaafin) may cost the party its precious bride.

“Makinde has been maradonising on the installation of the kings of Eruwa, Ikoyi-Ile as well as the Sepeteri stool in Oke Ogun. It is our hope and prayer that this governor will not set Yorubaland on fire. We therefore appeal to all lovers of peace to talk sense to him before the expiration of the 30 days deadline.”

This terrorist again.

Hmmmm. It's so obvious that the one favored by HE Makinde is not the choice of the Oyomesi and Atiba Mesan. He has lost this one except he wants his choice to have his Palace in Agodi

Muric the islamic terrorist

Wetin concern mohammadans with Yoruba traditional stool?

Am I missing something?

E be like say this people want to bring sharia to the southwest through the backdoor.

LivingSage:
Please tell us, how is he a terrorist?

He takes inspiration from the terrorist in chief Muhamid a bandit who regularly robbed travellers and kidnapped for ransom, a paedophile who slept with a nine year old child when he was in his 50s and then forced his son to divorce his wife so he could marry her the same man that was tied to a tree for stealing a red pant and who later slept with a corpse and practised homosexuality. That is his role model. So he too is a terrorist

this is a traditional law versus constitutional law, las las the governor has the powers to install a king but the oyomesi and atiba mesan can only advise or nominate a candidate but can not install a king.

Smh.
You're getting it wrong and it's sad. A Governor can not impose his will against the Oyomesi and Atiba mesan. His constitutional role is to install the one recommended by the traditional and legally recognized Kingmakers. The Kingmakers and their legitimate roles are recognized by law just like the Governor. You are stoking the embers of discord and I hope you will sooner than later realize that HE Makinde will eventually leave office while the Kingmakers remain in office afterwards unless he sacks them which can be contested and reversed by the courts.

We have traveled this path before. HE Makinde will eventually give in. The stake is bigger. You can see that nobody is celebrating his choice in Oyo Atiba. How he played the politics so bad that he appointed someone against the choice of the powerful Oyomesi and Atiba itself is a recipe for failure. If you know these things, by now you should know that the ade pali system will not work in Oyo Atiba.

if atiba mesan and oyomesi have the power let them install their preferred candidate, am telling you how the system works here you are referring to groups of people that did not have any constitutional power, their only hope now is to ensure that their candidate win as a Governor in the next election.

I hope the governor also has the power to do the coronation and the traditional rites for the king aswell.

Abi nah the governor go put crown on top the king head ??

Currently OYO has no king cos the governor choice can't enter the afin so what the point.

The OYO kingship system long....if the governor use power in install him , he can't use his power to crown him which is the most important thing.

When the Oyomessi and G9 heard Effc was coming after the bribe takers..

This murich man and attacking christian governors is like five and six.

Tinubu his god messed up the traditional rulers set up in Lagos more than any other governor dead or alive, to perpetuate his divide and rule template but nobody heard peeem from this jihadist, Alapatinrin!

Hahaha
Muric in severe pains.
That Muric man Ishaq Akintola is a terrorist and a modern day Aphonja who wants to sell the yoruba race for a hot plate of Amala.

The rowdy group would soon mellow when the governor uses EFCC to show them their sins. They will beg to do coronation.
Mind you, I bet the G9 and Oyomessi are divided over this confrontation with the governor and a splinter group would soon emerge to claim the authentic group and they will be loyalists of the government.

MURIC should be supported in yoruba land

this is the only group interested in yoruba development, cultural and religious harmony

They should lend their voice to the call of sharia in the West, yoruba Muslims should not be denied the right to practice their faith,
we all know no true Muslim lives without Sharia law, Allah's law.

we must all support Muric and Yoruba Muslims achieve their purpose

The governor doesn't crown anyone, he gives the Staff of Office and gazettes it and it becomes official except another governor takes over and deposes the Alaafin.
As per the crowning that one na small thing, there are kingmaker within the royal houses including his own kindred that will perform the ceremony
