Oyo Kingmakers Mention Name of Prince Chosen as Alaafin-elect
Kingmakers in Oyo insisted that they had selected Prince Lukman Gbadegesin for appointment as the next Alaafin of Oyo
In a fresh message by a quintet of Oyo kingmakers, the elders maintained that Prince Gbadegesin’s selection followed due processGbadegesin, a former personal assistant (PA) to Aruna Elewi, minister during the Olusegun Obasanjo administration, was reportedly picked from among dozens of princes interested in the stool
Legit.ng journalist, Ridwan Adeola Yusuf, has over 9 years of experience covering chieftaincy matters in Nigeria.Oyo, Oyo state – Five kingmakers (Oyomesi) in Oyo on Thursday, January 9, 2025, rejected an alleged move by Seyi Makinde, governor of the Oyo state, to kickstart a new process for the selection of the vacant stool of the Alaafin.
The displeased kingmakers described Makinde’s purported step as illegal and a disregard for the judiciary.
While Governor Seyi Makinde appears reluctant to approve Prince Lukman Gbadegesin as the Alaafin-elect, the kingmakers seem determined not to opt for another candidate.
As reported by Daily Trust, the kingmakers who expressed their displeasure with this move are High Chief Hamzat Yusuf, Akinniku of Oyo; High Chief Wakeel Akindele, Lagunna of Oyo; High Chief Yusuf Akínade, Bashorun of Oyo; Chíef Wahab Oyetunji, warrant chief stand-in for Asipa of Oyo, and Chief Gbadebo Mufutau, warrant chief stand-in for Alapinní of Oyo.
The kingmakers said a majority of them have already selected Prince Lukman Adelodun Gbadegesin as the Alaafin-elect.
New Alaafin: Oyo kingmakers disagree with Makinde
The position of the kingmakers was revealed in a letter written and signed on their behalf by their legal representative, Adekunle Sobaloju (SAN). The letter was sent to Governor Makinde.A section of the letter read:
“We have just been reliably ínformed by our clients that you have just through the Oyo State Commissioner for Chieftaincy Affairs and Chairmen of Atiba and Oyo East Local Government appointed (i) Chief Odurinde Olusegun Alajagba of Ajagba) (ii) Chief Ganiyu Ajiboye (Alago-Oja of Ago Oja) as warrant kíngmakers to join High Chief Asimiyu Atanda (Agbaakin of Oyo) and High Chief Lamidi Oyewale (Samu of Oyo) to kick start the process of selecting another candidate to fill the vacant stool of Alafin of Oyo.
“The two local government chairmen and the said warrant chiefs and High Chief Asimiyu Atanda (Agbaakin of Oyo) and High Chief Lamidi Oyewale (Samu of Oyo) who are not in support of the decision of the majority of the Kingmakers that selected Prince Lukman Adelodun Gbadegesin as the Alafin-elect were summoned today 9h January, 2025 to the office of the Oyo state commissioner for chieftaincy affairs where they were ordered to commence a fresh process to fill the vacant stool of Alafin of Oyo.”Alaafin stool: Oyemesi cautions against impunity
Furthermore, the kingmakers explained that considering there is a pending court case on the matter, Makinde’s attempt to kickstart a new process is a disregard to his oath of office, legal and constitutional duty to abide by the constitution, and give utmost regard to the court.They also noted that the governor’s move is similar to his past action when he disregarded a pending case before the court and proceeded to dissolve a democratically elected local government chairmen which the Supreme Court eventually condemned and described as a “disturbing ugly face of impunity displayed by the governor of Oyo state, tantamounting to executive lawlessness.”
The letter noted:
“Proceeding to commence a fresh process for the filling of the vacant stool of Alafin of Oyo would be subjudice and tantamount to lawlessness and disregard of the superior courts of record an act which your Excellency ought to distance yourself from.
“We therefore once more request and urge your Excellency to suspend any plan to kick start fresh process for the filling of the vacant stool of Alafin of Oyo during the pendency of a motion for injunction pending appeal in obedience to law and integrity of our courts.”
Legit.ng reports that since Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi III, died in April 2022, the stool of the Alaafin has been vacant.Alaafin stool: Makinde dragged to court
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that some kingmakers dragged Governor Makinde to court over the government’s alleged refusal to approve the selection of Prince Gbadegesin as the new Alaafin of Oyo.The aggrieved kingmakers also sued the attorney general/commissioner for justice, Biodun Aikomo, and the ministry of local government and chieftaincy affairs in court.

TSF urges Obi, supporters to eschew emotional blackmail and divisive rhetorics
By Danladi Ahmed
The Tinubu Stakeholders Forum (TSF) has expressed concerns over the deliberate twisting of the innocuous comments made by the spokesman of the All Progressives Congress, Mr Felix Morka by the former candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi during the 2023 President elections and his supporters stoking embers of fear and animosity to heat up the polity.
In a statement signed by its Chairman Ahmad Sajoh and Secretary Afolabi Josiah, the group said public comments should be rooted in factual accuracy devoid of sensationalism.
“The Tinubu Stakeholders Forum (TSF) said it noted the ongoing controversy arising from recent statements made by Peter Obi and the subsequent response by Felix Morka, adding that they would have been needless if the comments were placed in their right perspectives.
“While it is essential to safeguard the principles of free speech and constructive dialogue, it is equally important to ensure that public statements are rooted in factual accuracy, devoid of sensationalism and divisive tendencies.
“Nigeria is at a critical juncture, navigating complex challenges with bold reforms under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Despite inheriting profound structural issues, the government has taken courageous steps to stabilize the economy, such as the removal of fuel subsidies, unification of the exchange rate, and unprecedented investment in human capital development. These reforms are laying the foundation for long-term prosperity for all Nigerians.
“Critical engagement of government policies is welcome in a democracy, but they must be rational, constructive, and solution-driven. Unfortunately, what we see from Mr Obi and his supporters under the guise of the “Obidient Movement” is often a descent into sensationalism and mass hysteria that undermines meaningful discourse.
“No nation can be governed effectively under the influence of emotional blackmail or a rampaging mob that thrives on creating division and despair.
“Mr Felix Morka’s remarks have been unfairly distorted in some quarters to stoke fear and animosity. TSF unequivocally reaffirms that the government remains committed to the safety, security, and freedom of all Nigerians, regardless of their political affiliation.
“The administration encourages healthy debate and welcomes constructive criticism but rejects attempts to exploit misunderstandings or mischaracterizations for political gain,” TSF explained.
The group added that while opposition figures could have their say, they should do so without resorting to baseless accusations
It said: “While Mr Obi has a right of opinion on government policies, we urge him and his supporters to rise above inflammatory rhetoric and baseless accusations. Leadership demands responsibility, and public figures should focus on inspiring hope and unity, not amplifying division.
“The so-called “Obidient Movement” must understand that responsible governance requires rational debate and a focus on solutions, not sensational narratives that mislead the public. The Nigerian people deserve leadership that prioritizes facts over emotional manipulation, progress over pandemonium, and unity over discord.
“Public figures, including Mr Obi, bear a responsibility to promote peace and cohesion in the national discourse. Divisive rhetoric and baseless accusations only serve to distract from the real issues and delay the solutions Nigeria desperately needs.
“We call on Nigerians to resist the temptation of being drawn into narratives that exploit emotions and deepen divisions. This is a time to work together to overcome our challenges. Constructive engagement, not hostility, is the pathway to the prosperous Nigeria we all desire.
“While the road to recovery may be challenging, the administration remains steadfast in its commitment to building a nation that works for all Nigerians. TSF reiterates its unwavering commitment to promoting the achievements of this administration while fostering an environment where dissenting opinions are treated with respect.
“Let us reject the politics of blackmail and hysteria and instead embrace rationality, unity, and collective progress. Public dialogue must inspire hope, not fear or animosity.”
TSF also appealed to all political leaders, stakeholders, and citizens to uphold the values of civility and mutual respect.

Rooting for Hajj With Excellence in 2025
By Tunde Akanni (PhD)
Hajj administrators all over the world are often quick to assert that the preparations for the next hajj begins as soon as the just concluded one is over. Breathing life into this claim may however assume a different coloration depending on the faithfulness of the claim maker. For the current leadership at NAHCON there appears to be some commitment to some exciting vision.
Beyond being heavily credentialed, the Prof Saleh Usman leadership keeps signaling strong re-engineering for a the commission that deserves the best NAHCON’s recent activities have underscored its dedication to ensuring that the forthcoming 2025 Hajj would be seamless, safe, and spiritually fulfilling for all.
(Prof Saleh Usman Chairman/Chief Executive NAHCON)
NAHCON has started well with its focus on the most wanted variable which is transparency.It all started with that recent 2023 Hajj refunds to state boards and private tour operators. Coming when a past leadership was probably still facing interrogations on some huge allocations not properly accounted for. Recognizing the importance of maintaining trust and ensuring fairness, NAHCON implemented a swift and transparent process for issuing refunds to 2023 pilgrims who did not get the right match for the fees they were charged for some services. This single move has been quite reassuring and to say the least provided financial relief to the pilgrims. This was a most dramatic departure from the immediate past regime and reaffirmed NAHCON’s commitment to accountability and service excellence.
The commission’s decisive approach in acknowledging the receipt of the receipt of the refunds from the Hajj authorities in Saudi Arabia was a testament to its dedication to the welfare of pilgrims. Beyond rendering the financial account to all relevant stakeholders, the Saleh Usman-led NAHCON called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to complement NAHCON’s efforts.
Specifically NAHCON, in a rare display of commitment to accountability, wanted the crime cracking agency to follow the money they had handed over to the State Pilgrims’ Welfare Boards as well as private tour operators regarding the 2023 Hajj refunds is a significant step towards promoting transparency and accountability. By involving the EFCC, NAHCON has demonstrated its zero-tolerance stance on financial malfeasance and its commitment to ensuring that every pilgrim receives the refunds they are entitled to.
This collaboration is a clear indication of NAHCON’s resolve to uphold ethical standards and foster a culture of integrity within Hajj operations. It also sends a strong message to all stakeholders about the importance of honesty and transparency in managing Hajj funds. NAHCON has undertaken further comprehensive and transparent inspections of the facilities of relevant agencies.
This initiative aims to ensure that all facilities meet the required standards and are well-prepared to accommodate the influx of pilgrims. NAHCON’s meticulous approach in inspecting accommodation, transportation, and other essential services underscores its commitment to providing a safe and comfortable environment for pilgrims.
The transparency of these inspections fosters trust among stakeholders and ensures that any issues are promptly addressed. By prioritizing the preparedness of facilities, NAHCON is setting a precedent for excellence in Hajj operations.Another notable achievement of NAHCON is its rigorous screening process for airlines and other service providers ahead of the 2025 Hajj. This thorough vetting process ensures that only reputable and reliable providers are selected to serve Nigerian pilgrims. By setting high standards for service delivery, NAHCON is safeguarding the interests of pilgrims and ensuring that they receive the best possible services.
This proactive measure is crucial in preventing the recurrence of the challenges faced during the 2023 Hajj and enhancing the overall Hajj experience. NAHCON’s diligence in screening service providers highlights its commitment to quality and safety.
The remarkable achievements of NAHCON can be largely attributed to the visionary leadership of Professor Saleh Usman. With nearly a decade of experience in managing Hajj operations for the state known for producing the highest-performing pilgrims in Nigeria, Professor Usman brings a wealth of expertise and dedication to the role.
His deep understanding of Hajj dynamics and his strategic approach to problem-solving have been instrumental in driving NAHCON’s successes. Interestingly, a likeable team leader, he has refused to allow any vacuum to fester.
Recently he caused a reverred veteran within the NAHCON system, Alidu Shutti, to be elevated to the position of Acting Secretary, a strategic spot on the commission’s organogram. Not unsurprisingly, his able leadership has not only raised stakeholders’ hope but has also fired improved aspirations in private tour operators’ community.Not leaving anything to chance, the commission has since formally released the list of all major private tour operators recognized for the 2025 Hajj operations. Promptly, it dared anyone with reservations on its judgement on the list released to come forward with their submission.
Yet another major stride Professor Usman’s leadership has accomplished is the adoption of digital solutions to streamline Hajj operations. NAHCON’s online registration system, for instance, has revolutionized the registration process, making it more efficient and accessible for intending pilgrims.
This digital transformation ensures that pilgrims can easily complete their registration and documentation processes without unnecessary delays or complications. The use of technology has also enhanced data management and improved communication between NAHCON and other stakeholders. By leveraging digital solutions,
NAHCON is paving the way for a more efficient and modern approach to Hajj management.In addition to all these efforts, the scholar-practitioner embodied in Prof Usman has also done well to resist armchair administration. Within his 100-day tenure, he has travelled to all parts of Nigeria consulting with all relevant stakeholders. The outcomes of the engagements are bound to impact resoundingly as we look forward to the 2025 Hajj.
On the whole, the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) deserves to be duly appreciated for its exemplary leadership and service in managing Hajj operations. From addressing the concerns of pilgrims through swift refunds for the 2023 Hajj to collaborating with the EFCC to ensure accountability, NAHCON has demonstrated a strong commitment to transparency and integrity.
The commission’s meticulous inspections of facilities and thorough screening of service providers for the 2025 Hajj highlight its dedication to quality and safety. Under the able leadership of Professor Saleh Usman, NAHCON continues to innovate and excel, setting a high standard for Hajj management.
As we look to the future, it is essential to recognize and appreciate the invaluable contributions of NAHCON in facilitating one of the most important spiritual journeys for Muslims.
