The Alaafin of Oyo has opposed the installation of Yoruba Oba in France.
He said “To me, the request is as ridiculous as expecting the British citizen in France for whatever reasons to appoint a Queen or King in France.
I deliberately chose that analogy between Yoruba and the British because we have common history of monarchy, both in age and value. We should not allow any negative modernity take us back from our cherished values and customs.”
