In line with tradition, the Ole Ruling House convened a meeting to decide on interim leadership, presided over by the head of the ruling house and attended by fifteen princes
The meeting resulted in a unanimous decision to appoint the late king’s first daughter, Princess Adeyemi Faith Ajimo, as Regent.
