Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The Soun of Ogbomosoland, Oba Gandi Afolabi Olaoye has turbaned Alhaji Sheikh Habeeb Ayilara as the new Chief Imam of the ancient town.

Ayilara’s turbanning on Friday followed his selection by the League of Imams and Alfas of Ogbomoso and other Muslim leaders.

Olaoye was turbaned as the new Chief Imam at the Abata section of the palace in the presence of a tumultuous crowd of friends, relations and well wishers.

The new Imam was later presented with the staff and certificate of office by the Asoju Muslumi of Ogbomosoland, Alhaji Mikahel Misasco.

The new Chief Imam, Sheikh Habeeb Ayilara is the choice of the Imam Ayilara family whose turn it is to produce the Chief Imam of Ogbomosoland.

He was turbaned in the presence of a large population of Ogbomoso Muslims community, including the Parakoyi of Ogbomosoland Alhaji Sirajudeen Aleem, Senator Fatai Buhari (represented by Alhaji Yekinni Woleola) and other Muslim leaders in the community.

Speaking, Aleem explained that the new Imam would for now be addressed as the Chief Imam of Aafin Ogbomoso.

This implied that the embattled Chief Imam of Ogbomosoland Sheikh Teliat Yunus Olusina Ayilara’s position is still intact.

According to Aleem, since the issue of Alhaji Teliat is in court , the Muslim Community will not act contrary to the rule of law.

“He will be the Imam of the palace, the Imam of the Oba, we are not acting in contempt of the court because the matter is in court, it is the court that will tell us if Imam Teliat is Imam Ogbomoso or not.

“We are not removing him (Alhaji Teliat) as Chief Imam Ogbomoso, he is still, because the matter is in court, but the Imam of the Soun is the one we are turbanning today.

“Listen to me, he is imam of the palace, of all the Soun Royal Houses,” the Parakoyi declared.

Speaking earlier, Iba Olaoye chastised those trying to make the throne of the Soun a religious issue.

He pointed out that the “throne is that of the traditionalists.

“Soun Ogunlola who founded the throne was a pure traditionalist; he worshiped Ogun deity.

“We Christians and Muslims are just intruding so to say, it originally belongs the traditional religion worshipers so we should encourage religious harmony.

“It neither belongs to either of us Christians nor Muslims, they are only lending us the throne, eni a fi rolo to ni toun baje kinni ki oloro o wa se.

“Let me clear this , the event of today is not the bus stop, we are yet to reach our destination, the bus only stopped to pick someone.

“I have refused to remove him (the incumbent Chief Imam Teliat) despite him taking me to court.

“But I told him you can’t take me to court and be leading me in prayer, we don’t go to court and become friends.

“You that took me to court your intention is to win, to win against the Oba, and you call yourself an indigene of this town.

“Such prayer can’t be answered I believe. I am a pastor, if I take my member to court will I lead in prayer and such member will say amen,” Oba Olaoye explained

Soun further said : “Today’s event marks my birthday. It is historical.

“The person we installed today , we conducted thorough research, we don’t want to make such mistake again.

“I have been an alfa (pastor) for 32 years, I believe Imam Teliat was still wearing pant then.

“That is the truth. And as Christians we don’t mount the pulpit to abuse a king, l don’t know your religion much but in Christendom we don’t do that, although there are some pastors that say nonsense too.

“We should give reverence to God the creator on the pulpit not like he is doing on the mumbar.

“Parakoyi has been leading prayer in the palace and representing me, but I told him we need an Imam who will be representing me where I am invited regarding religious matter,” Soun affirmed.   (vitalnewsngr.com)
