Oyo State Governor, Mr Seyi Makinde has approved a pastor with the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Prince Afolabi Ghandi Olaoye as the Soun-elect of Ogbomosoland.
Makinde’s approval of Olaoye was conveyed in a statement by the state Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters, Mr Olusegun Olayiwola, issued on Saturday.
Olayiwola said the approval followed adherence to processes specified under the law.
The commissioner charged the monarch-elect in the position to facilitate harmony, understanding and tolerance among his people.
This is as he urged the people of Ogbomoso to work with the monarch to consolidate the successes of his forefathers.
The throne has been vacant since the demise of Oba Jimoh Oyewumi Ajagungbade III, in December 2021, at the age of 95 years after he reigned for 48 years.
