Hausa community hails Olubadan for nullifying Sarkin Sasa title

The Council of Hausa community leaders in Oyo State has said it is fully in support of the declaration of the title of Sarkn Sasa as illegal by the Olubadan of Ibadanlan, Oba Akinloye Owolabi Olakulehin.

The council also said it would pay a courtesy visit to Olubadan’s palace to apologise, and discuss the issue of removal of the new Sarkin Sasa Alhaji Ahmad Haruna Maiyasin to replace him with his brother Alhaji Awal Muhammad the Tafidan Sasa

The Seriki Hausa of Oyo town, Alhaji Muhammad Gali Kano made these known while speaking to journalists on behalf of the Council of Hausa community leaders at the end of their emergency meeting held at Sabo in Ibadan.

Alhaji Gali Kano pointed out that the Hausa community in Oyo state is in total support of the decision of the Olubadan that no one should parade himself as Sarkin Sasa henceforth.

Gali Kano stressed that only the Olubadan has the power to install or remove any traditional title holder in Ibadanland and that it was wrong for the son of the former Sarkin Sasa to parade himself as the new Sarkin Sasa without the approval of the Olubadan.

He maintained that Sasa is an area in Ibadan and it is still under the authority of Olubadan and that no one should parade himself as a traditional title holder in Ibadanland without the consent of the Olubadan.

“We are under the authority of Olubadan of Ibadanland. It is a matter that cannot be solved at this meeting. It is too bad for the son of the Sarkn Sasa to parade himself as the new Sarkin Sasa without the approval of Olubadan,” he said.

“Sasa is an area in Ibadan and it is under the authority of Olubadan of Ibadanland. We are 100 per cent in support of the decision of Olubadan of Ibadanland.

“Who is going to install the new Sarkin Sasa without the approval of Olubadan? It is only the Olubadan that can install or remove any traditional title holder in Ibadanland.”
