State of Osun Council of Obas and their Ranking
- Osogbo Updates
This council document obtained by Osogbo Updates officially places Oluwo before Ataoja.
The Ataoja challenges this order, arguing that tradition and the realities of Osun's leadership had previously acknowledged Osogbo's stool as the fourth-ranking position. This recognition was altered during the absence of the late Ataoja Oyewale Matanmi, who was out of the country at the time.
