The reasons late Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III conferred the chieftaincy title of Aare Baasofin of Yoruba land on the Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila, have been revealed.

These reasons were revealed during Gbajabiamila’s visit to Oyo, to condole with the royal family on the transition of Oba Adeyemi III.
