Prince Afeez Siyanbola Oladigbolu joined Oyo faithful Muslims to perform Eid fitri prayer at oyo Central. The crown prince urged the faithful Muslims to continue their kindness after the month of mercy (Ramadan).

He further stated that the way Muslims round the world stayed calm and showed kindness to those in needy should not be discontinued after the Ramadan.

According to the grandson of the 40th alaafin of oyo, Oba Abubakar siyanbola Oladigbolu. He is personally unhappy with the current situation of the ancient town (oyo)

We don’t have alaafin and Chief Imam. The two vacumes remain unfilled due to the passage of the oba abdul hammed adeyemi the 3rd and late mashood adebayo ajokidero. Chief imam of oyo.

The absence of alaafin has led the town to the state of stagnancy since oba adeyemi joined his ancestors in April 2022.

The young prince challenged the Muslim leaders and communities to be fervent in unstoppable prayer for almighty’s intervention.

The crown prince also addressed the youths to be calm and stay away from violence. Violence Leeds to crime , while crime leads to jail. He further advised the youth to abstain from being used against the government. Nobody or group of people have the capacities to fight the government at any level.
If the political behavioural patern of any candidate is not going down with you, wait for the next election and vote such a candidate out. That is the civil way of reaction. Violence, insults, and most especially courses on our leaders will not change anything , let’s pray for them so that they can always fulfil their campaign promises.

Finally, the youngest contender to the vacant stool of alaafin extended the hand of assistance to the senior citizens.
