The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has said he will not stop to
accord Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, respect despite snubbing
him at a social function on Tuesday.
According to him, he wasn't bothered by Oba Akiolu’s action or
inaction and still holds him in high esteem.
Adding that he is committed to ensuring unity among traditional rulers in the land. Oba Ogunwusi made this known through the Director of Media and Public Affairs, Ooni’s Palace on Wednesday. Oba Ogunwusi said:
“Nobody should castigate anybody” for doing what he did because of the
position he holds and because of his age… Ooni would not stop to accord his
colleagues and every category of people the respect they deserve.
The Ooni of Ife is not ready to make any official statement over what
happened between him and the Oba of Lagos. He still holds Oba Akiolu in high
esteem and what happened yesterday will not stop the Ooni from holding him in
high esteem”
