Emerging details have it that Aremo Adesegun Oniru is facing a strong challenge in the bid to succeed his father Oba Idowu Abiodun Oniru.
The Oniru recently joined his ancestors and traditionally, highly connected firstborn Adesegun Oniru should take the throne.
The former Lagos state commissioner has been prepared for this development all his life.
But societynow.ng gathered that Aremo, as he is fondly called, is facing strong challenges from his brothers Tijani and Ademola.
Sources disclosed that Tijani has a stronger influence than Aremo with the grassroots and a number of the decision-makers in the palace.
Tijani and Ademola are challenging Aremo based on the fact that younger princes are known to upstage the ‘’crown prince’’ as happened in the case of Elegushi.
Those who should know however disclosed to societynow.ng that despite the strong challenge from his brothers, Aremo Oniru remains in pole position to succeed his father.
“Asiwaju Tinubu has waded into the matter, and whether anybody likes it or not Tinubu has more than a big say in who becomes what in that place. And Aremo remains an extremely close ally of Tinubu” a source pointed out.
