September 05, (THEWILL) – A few days ago, the ancient city of Oyo was agog when the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi conferred the title, Ayedoro of Yoruba land, on Hon Shina Peller, a member of the National Assembly representing Iseyin, Itesiwaju, Iwajowa, Kajola Federal Constituency in Oyo State. His wife, Ayobola was also installed as Yeye Ayedero of Yorubaland on the same day.
According to the monarch, he conferred the titles on Peller and his wife because they are worthy individuals who have contributed their quota to the development of the Oyo Empire. Commenting on his title, Peller said the Alaafin had given him a wider platform and greater challenge to continue to promote the peace and prosperity of the land.
A live lion was seen at the venue of the event. Perhaps, unable to turn the wild animal into a meal just like Abisoye Fagade, another prominent Oyo state indigene, who served his guests reptiles during the burial ceremony of his late mother in the ancient city, Shina Peller was just contented with having it on display.
The lion was held in a cage and it was the centre of attraction to many guests who were eager to have a glimpse of it.
