The vast majority of Oyo State residents are Yoruba.[10] Nicknamed the "Pace Setter State", present-day Oyo State sits on territory formerly ruled by various kingdoms and empires.[citation needed]
The Oyo Empire was a powerful Yoruba empire that ruled in much of the area from c. 1300 to 1896.[11] Built in the 1830s, modern city of Oyo is considered a remnant of the imperial era, being referred to as "New Ọyọ" (Ọ̀yọ́ Àtìbà) to distinguish itself from the former capital to the north, 'Old Oyo' (Ọ̀yọ́-Ilé). The Alaafin of Oyo continues to serve a ceremonial role in the city.[12]
Oyo State covers approximately an area of 28,454 square kilometers and is ranked 14th by size.[17] The landscape consists of old hard rocks and dome shaped hills, which rise gently from about 500 meters in the southern part and reaching a height of about 1,200 metres above sea level in the northern part.[18] Some principal rivers such as Ogun, Oba, Oyan, Otin, Ofiki, Sasa, Oni, Erinle and Osun river originate in this highland. The southern and southeastern parts of the state form a continuous plain.[17]
The climate is equatorial, notably with dry and wet seasons with relatively high humidity. The dry season lasts from November to March while the wet season starts from April and ends in October. Average daily temperature ranges between 25 °C (77.0 °F) and 35 °C (95.0 °F), almost throughout the year.[20]

The present governor of Oyo State is Seyi Makinde with Bayo Lawal serving as deputy governor.[45] The legislative branch is headed by an elected Speaker of the House of Assembly. The current Speaker is Hon. Debo Ogundoyin.[46] And lastly, the judiciary is headed by the Chief Judge of Oyo State High Court.[47] The present Chief Judge of the state is Muktar Abimbola.[48]
