Strange times: When late Alaafin of Oyo invokes ancestors for Bola Ahmed Tinubu
The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi before his passing had prayed that the ancestors of Yoruba land will back the presidential ambition of Bola Tinubu National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“If I check my list now, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the first presidential aspirant to visit me. All you the chiefs and traditional rulers, you have heard what our visitor said.
“He said our prayers are needed. All the ancestors in Yorubaland, get up and assist your son."

A big iroko has fallen, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu mourns Alaafin of Oyo
A former governor of Lagos state and the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has described the late Alaafin of Oyo Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III as a big Iroko tree. Stating that the big Itroko tree has fallen, Tinubu added that he is saddened by the transition of the royal father also known as the Iku Baba Yeye.

"With his transition, a big Iroko has fallen. His passing was an auspicious era in the ancient Oyo Kingdom, but also for the Yoruba and the entirety of the black race. An elder statesman and patriot, Alaafin Adeyemi was bold and courageous. He spoke truth to power. His interventions in national affairs helped the nation navigate difficult moments and helped usher in a more just society."
