The flyer, jointly issued by the Alaafin and his wife, Ayaba Abiwumi Owoade, extended an invitation to the general public to attend the chieftaincy installation, slated for Saturday, December 21, 2025.
The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Abimbola Owoade, is set to confer prestigious chieftaincy titles on Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, and Senator Abdul’Aziz Yari at a ceremony scheduled for Saturday.
According to information contained in a flyer circulating on social media and obtained on Wednesday, Seyi Tinubu will be installed as the Okanlomo of Yorubaland, while the former Zamfara State governor and current senator representing Zamfara West will receive the title of Obaloyin of Yorubaland.
The flyer, jointly issued by the Alaafin and his wife, Ayaba Abiwumi Owoade, extended an invitation to the general public to attend the chieftaincy installation, slated for Saturday, December 21, 2025.
The title Okanlomo of Yorubaland is regarded as a highly esteemed Yoruba honour, loosely translated as “one who is cherished by all” or “a beloved son of the Yoruba race,” symbolising affection, recognition and significance within Yorubaland.
Confirming the development in a telephone interview on Wednesday, the Alaafin’s media aide, Bode Durojaiye, affirmed that the ceremony would proceed as scheduled.
“Yes, it is correct. The Alaafin of Oyo will install Seyi Tinubu as the Okanlomo of Yorubaland and Senator Abdul’Aziz Yari as the Obaloyin of Yorubaland,” Durojaiye said.
He added that an official statement detailing the event would be released to the media in due course
