š§ Short explanation
In the traditional Yoruba political system, a king (Oba) was not chosen by the public and not imposed by government.
Instead:
a special group of chiefs, called kingmakers, selected and installed the ruler.
For example, in the old Oyo Empire, the kingmakers were known as the
Oyomesi.
