It is no longer news that the top Yoruba monarch, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, has joined the list of dead kings in Oyo state.
The Alaafin’s death came months after two other senior Oyo state kings died in the space of 5 months.
All these deaths all happened during Governor Seyi Makinde’s tenure in Oyo state.
Below are lists of the three prominent kings that have died in Oyo under Makinde’s regime.

- Olubadan of Ibadan
In March 2016, Oba Saliu Adetunji was sworn in as the Olubadan of Ibadan, in what is now Oyo state.He was 88 years old at the time. His elderly age was not surprising, as the important ancient Yoruba city and state capital is known for a traditional rulership system that generates old men.The system is unabashedly gerontocratic.
He ruled for around six years. He passed away on January 2nd, at the age of 93.
- Alaafin Of Oyo
Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, the Alaafin of Oyo, is the latest member to the state’s list of historic kings.
He was 83 years old and had ruled for over 52 years, making him the longest reigning Alaafin in history.
At the Afe Babalola University Teaching Hospital in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti state, Oba Lamidi, the third from the Alowodu Ruling House, joined his predecessors.
