As contained in the Gazette, the state government stated, on the Alaafin of Oyo Chieftaincy Declaration (Section 38.1) on the recommendation of the 1976 Report of the Commission of Enquiry (38. 1.1) that “Government should design a system of ensuring the implementation of its decision of 1976 which:
(i) “Declared the Alaafin of Oyo Chieftaincy Declaration made by the Chieftaincy Committee of the then Oyo Divisional Council defective because it did not reflect the true customary law governing appointment to the Alaafin Chieftaincy.
(ii) “Directed the Oyo South Local Government Council Chieftaincy Committee to amend the Alaafin of Oyo Chieftaincy Declaration to provide for only one ruling house, the Atiba Ruling House, including all the descendants of Atiba.”
