- The group expressed concerns over the purported appointment of a new “Sarkin Sasa” following the demise of Alhaji Haruna Mai-Yatsin Katsina.
- TYF insists that the title has no legal or historical basis and is an attempt to establish an Hausa-Fulani ruling dynasty in Ibadanland.
A Pan-Yoruba group, Think Yoruba First (TYF), has called on the Olubadan, Oba Akinloye Owolabi Olakukehin, to stop the Sarkin Sasa dynasty in Sasa, Oyo State. The group’s President, Oladimeji Bolarinwa, expressed deep concerns over the appointment of a new “Sarkin Sasa” following Alhaji Haruna Mai-Yatsin Katsina’s demise.
According to TYF, the title “Sarkin Sasa” is not recognized under the Chiefs Law of Oyo State and is therefore an illegality. The group views this move as an attempt to establish an Hausa-Fulani ruling dynasty in Ibadanland, which is unacceptable and must be resisted to protect the rights and heritage of the indigenous Yoruba people.
TYF urges the Olubadan to abolish the “Sarkin Sasa” title, which has no legal or historical basis. The group also calls on the Oyo State Government to ensure that only legally recognized traditional leadership structures are permitted within Ibadan.
