A 53-year-old Prince Olawale Semiu Oyebola has emerged as the new Aseyin of Iseyin, Oyo State.
Oyebola’s name was announced by kingmakers following the selection process of the new king held at Aseyin Palace.
Ten kingmakers arrived at the palace around 10 am on Tuesday, August 29, after security men had cordoned off the place to forestall a breakdown of law and order.
Voting process commenced as planned by the officials of the Iseyin local government and security agents.
The outcome of the votes cast showed majority votes in favour of the Oyebola.
Prince Oyebola is the 30th Aseyin after the demise of late Dr. Abdganiy Salawudeen Adekunle Oloogunebi Ajinese 1.
It was gathered that the new monarch works and resides in United States of America (USA) with his family and has always shown interest in welfare of the community, which prompted his education foundation, under which indigent students of tertiary institutions access scholarship funding.
