The newly installed Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Abimbola Owoade, has officially announced his royal title.
In a statement, the monarch declared that he will be formally addressed as His Imperial Majesty.
The statement clarified the proper way to refer to the Alaafin in official and media communications:
“HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY IKU BABA YEYE OBA ABIMBOLA AKEEM OWOADE I, ALAAFIN OF OYO”
It further emphasized that the numeral “I” after Owoade is a Roman numeral, not the English number one (1).
The public has been urged to adhere strictly to this official designation, ensuring no modifications, prefixes, or suffixes are added to the name.
