Ex-Senator Calls Himself Oldest Man in Nigeria at Age 92
Nigerian politician Wande Abimbola, a 92-year-old ex-senator, believes Oyo State's Alaafin throne should remain vacant despite efforts by the current monarch to select a new one, in a move seen as a bid for power.
Renowned professor and former Majority Leader of the Senate, Wande Abimbola, has revealed that Oyo State has yet to appoint a new Alaafin due to his own personal preference, according to the 92-year-old academic. As part of an interview highlighting his life journey, Professor Abimbola shared his thoughts on various topics, including the Oyo State royal succession issue. The ex-senator's remarks suggest that he has a strong interest in the matter and is not willing to relinquish control, indicating that a new Alaafin may not be appointed anytime soon. However, no specific timeline or reasons for Professor Abimbola's stance have been provided.
