Some Nigerians have started reacting to the invitation. Below are some of their reactions:

Omooba Aderounmu Owoade congratulated the monarch:

"Congratulations to Seyi Tinubu. And to Alaafin, you have set the space and signal to be back as the head of Oba ile Yoruba. Let's show the Yoruba land whole world that Oyo is back. In the time of Alaafin Adeyemi, it has always been him who conferred this title; it's your time now."
