“When he (Olaoye) came to me to inform me about the development I told him to go and pray, he came back and said he had not heard anything. I told him to go back and pray again, and after a while, he came back and told me God had spoken. I have heard him loud and clear that I should go ahead. It was then that I told him to go because it had been destined. I knew that long ago, but I want God to speak to him directly.
“To my critics, if I said no and God said Yes, whose word is the final? God of course. So, I cannot stop him because Pastor Olaoye was destined to be a king even before he was born and thank God it is coming to fruition,” he explained.

In September 2023, Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo state approved Olaoye as the 21st Soun of Ogbomosoland in September 2023 following his selection by the kingmakers in the ancient town.
He was subsequently installed by the kingmakers in Ogbomoso land as the new Soun of Ogbomoso at Abata.
