The Alaafin said, “It is a known fact that chieftaincy conferment in Oyo, the centre of Yoruba culture and political development, has never been arbitrary or random.
“It is based on meticulous investigation and thorough scrutiny grounded on integrity, visible role, modelling, patriotism and without any ethnic or cultural bias.”
