The New Aseyin of Iseyin designate, Oba Sefiu Oyebola, was received into the ancient town by Sons and Daughters of Iseyin in grand style.

Oba Sefiu Oyebola entered the ancient town today for the first time after his approval as the king by seven out of the ten kingmakers and Governor Seyi Makinde.

The king will proceed into a seven-day seclusion after this for his traditional rites.

The new king emerged one year after the demise of Oba Abdul-Ganiyu Salawudeen, the erstwhile king of the ancient town.

The New Aseyin’s grand welcome is a sign of the people’s excitement and anticipation for his reign. They hope that he will lead the town to prosperity and development.

The seven-day seclusion is a traditional period of reflection and preparation for the new king.

It is a time for him to seek the guidance of his ancestors and to prepare for the challenges of his new role.
