Gaa accepted the offer, and soon found himself at the center of the empire’s power struggles.
He quickly gained the trust of the Alaafin, who saw in him a loyal and capable ally. As Gaa’s influence grew, so did his ambition.
He began to secretly gather a network of supporters, whispering in the ears of discontented chiefs and fueling their dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs.
Before long, Gaa’s machinations bore fruit. The Alaafin, convinced of his loyalty, appointed him as the Prime Minister of Oyo, granting him unparalleled power and authority. Gaa’s rise to power was meteoric, and his position seemed unassailable.
But beneath the surface, Gaa’s true intentions simmered, waiting to boil over into a cauldron of chaos and destruction. His appointment as Prime Minister marked the beginning of a new era in Oyo, one that would be defined by Gaa’s unyielding grip on power and his ruthless suppression of any opposition.
