Ife princes are unhappy with the Olugbo of Ugbo, Oba Obateru Akinruntan, over his supremacy battle with the Oni of Ife, Ooni Adeyeye Ogunwusi.

Check an earlier post on this issue for background information : https://www.nairaland.com/3501858/ooni-ogunwusi-olugbo-akinruntan-supremacy

Online investigations reveal Ife princes and others
are even more angry with a
YouTube video in which the Olugbo
was claimed to have said, “I AM
THE TRUE OONI OF ILE-IFE.”

Though the Ooni has kept silent over
the issue, Ife princes and some
others have been vocal in their
condemnation of the Olugbo.

In a post shared on the Facebook
page of Moses Olafare, the Ooni’s
media aide, Prince Tope Eluyefa
wrote:

Who Is Afraid Of Oba Adeyeye
Ogunwusi, OONIRISA!

I love Oba Obateru Akinruntan so
much, a distinguished Nigeria and oil
magnate.
A king who has taste and his royal
grandeur is superb.
The king who knows more than his
parents and his forefathers.
D greatest prayer such child can get
from d parents is “Omo ase iru e fun
o ooo”
It is absurd, insanity and insult for a
son to betray or disperse his father’s
home.
Every author or individual has right
to his opinion and believe but not to
the detriment of maligning a
particular person, group or city.
Olugbo of Ugboland, His Highness
Oba Akinruntan recent statement is
a total rascality from a throne
expected to be sacred.
He would have made such statement
when Ooni Okunade Sijuwade was
alive, Oba Sijuwade and God only
made him and ensure he was
enthrone as king.
How on earth should a Yoruba king
refer to Moremi as a traitor just
because she used her power of a
woman to liberate her people from
incessant invasions by some faceless
terrorist.
Ile Ife remain very proud of the great
queen Moremi Ajasoro, a brave
woman who sacrificed her only son
OLUOROGBO for the victory of her
people over the faceless terrorists
who used incessantly raid Ife
markets, we will not dignify this
rascality of royalty with an expected
response as we are not ready for any
useless supremacy battle incapable of
taking Yoruba to a greater height.
Most paramount on the mind of His
Imperial Majesty Ooni Adeyeye
Ogunwusi Ojaja II with the
unflinching support of Baba Alaafin,
baba Awujale, baba Alake, baba
Orangun, baba Deji, babe Ewi, baba
Osemawe, baba Olubadan, Oba of
Lagos and other relevant peace
loving monarchs in Yorubaland and
in other parts of the country is and
remains the much needed progress of
Yoruba nation which can only be
catalyzed by peace and unity, this
has necessitated his unimaginable
barrier-breaking unity visits he has
been taking around not only in
Yorubaland but also across Nigeria
and internationally.
His activities in the last one year on
throne are enough to attest to his
personality as a king of peace.
It is a pity that at this time when
everybody is lucidly tired of
retrogressive royal discord generally
agreed to have colossally hindered
our pace of progress as a people of
common heritage politically and
socio-economically, the OLUGBO who
claims to be the chairman of Yoruba
Obas Committee on Peace and
Reconciliation has suddenly without
a deep knowledge of Yoruba history
woken up to see royal controversy as
the only tool for cheap publicity.
Kabiyesi Ooni is not interested in
joining issues with Oba Akinruntan
or anyone on any matter that can
jeopardize his peace and unity project
which is already making impact in so
many sectors such as Youth
development, women empowerment,
cultural tourism, agric revolution,
unification of our elders and
traditional rulers, to mention but a
few.
We therefore urge every lover of
peace and unity in Africa to ignore
any reckless statement capable of
further dividing us, they should
rather see the author of such
statement as a person who poses a
too armful danger to our peaceful
coexistence.
Yoruba must remain united, Nigeria
must remain united, Africa must
remain united and the entire black
worldwide must remain united
because we are one before the
Almighty God.
Happy 1st year coronation
anniversary kaaaaaabiyesi
Long live Oba Ogunwusi
Long live Ile Oodua
Long live Yorubaland
Long live Nigeria.

Other supporters of the Ooni have

denunciation of the Olugbo of Ugbo.

is just looking for cheap popularity

He should stop wasting his time on

The battle of supremacy I know of in Yoruba land as always been between the Alaafin and Ooni which one is Olugbo again.
