A competent source who attended the meeting told Vanguard
that, “Well, that is a good development for us and we are sure that the
right person will be picked as the Ooni. This is the normal process and
we know it won’t cause disaffection.“The normal thing is that the Ruling House will send names of qualified candidates to the kingmakers. For instance, the Ogboru family sent 14 names out of which late Oba Sijuwade emerged”, the source added.
Meanwhile, it was gathered that the ruling house may receive the official letter from the local government calling for names of candidates for the Ooni’s throne.
