Since the beginning of this week, there has been uproar everywhere due to the humiliating behaviour the Oba of Lagos, Oba Akiolu gave The Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi during an event publicly. This has been a major topic of discussion as many were of the opinion that there will be a serious royal battle that will emanate from the case.
However, the Ooni of Ife has spoken about it, and has put minds to rest that there shall be no duel or war following the open ridicule he received from the Oba of Lagos Rilwan Akiolu!
The 42 year old Oba Ogunwusi told this to some news men who made inquiries after the incident.
According to the Ooni of Ife, the older King’s act would not even stop him from his mission of promoting unity amongst Yoruba rulers. The humble monarch says he will not rest until he achieves his aim of unity.
On what he feels about the public ridicule, Ooni of Ife says it would not stop him from giving respect to the Oba of Lagos whenever and wherever their paths cross.
The foremost ruler also reveals that he was not perturbed by the snobbish greeting, hence he would not want Akiolu to be castigated because of his position and age.
He concludes that despite his act, he will continue to hold Akiolu of Lagos in high esteem
