The Awujale and Paramount Ruler of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Adetona, has condemned the reaction of his subjects in humilating the senate president and described their action as an abomination maintaining that any attempt to politicize the Ojude Oba Festival will not be acceptable.

MY QUICK TAKE.
===========
In all honesty, culture and tradition of the people should not be mixed with politics. But how do you describe Saraki's appearance as a special guest alongside a few other lawmakers loyal to him to a festival few months to the general election and also coming when he is about to publicly declare his presidential ambition. Many people are asking who paid the appearance fee? The Awujale should not be blamed in anyway because he may not even know the antics of these politicians. Saraki wanted to test the waters, but unfortunately, the people sent a clear signal that they don't want him. Coming to Ijebuland with people like Dino and the twitter guy six months to election to test the microphone is not acceptable to the people. I trust the Yoruba people when it comes to politics. You can't use them for any political gains. Saraki and his clique are holding our dear nation to ransom by opposing very clear and good intentions of the president. The INEC budget and other burning national issues are pending, but they have the time and space to gallivant around the country to attend jamborees. They will keep meeting the masses everywhere they go to. In the last few days, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso could not find any hiding place as people follow him with the shout of "Sai Buhari" anywhere they find his shadows. Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal got the same treatment by his own people, in his own local government. When Senator Isah Hamma Misau raised his hand to shout PDP, the same crowd he rented replied "SAI BUHARI, Bamayi sai mai gaskiya". Alhaji Sule Lamido got the shock of his life when a rally he organized in Jigawa turned against him in a state that he was two time governor. The truth of the matter is that people already know who their enemies are. To pretend is to be mischievous. The Awujala should have known that inviting a politician in such event must get a political response. These characters can only get cheers in some particular region of the country. But they will certainly find no ventilation to where sophistication dwells as politics.

Was he really testing the waters ?
To the youths- How be it , shouting ALL MANNER OF OLEs and not having your pvc is a show of how poorly, we have failed to learn...
I bet many of the youth there don't have a pvc and some believe pvcs are used to open a bank account mainly

True talk

Nothing like abomination, SARAKI is a thief infact a BIG thief.

All Yoruba's must fast for seven days for offending the gods

Who are you to oppose Saraki when God and the gods have chosen him

You betrayed your culture and tradition all in the name of politics

Now this is funny!

Kabiyesi should have known that a man who brings home ant infested firewood must play host to lizards.

These same people that will sell their vote are the one shouting .
Yoruba sef

And how did you know that many of them have no Pvc ?
Their reaction was spontaneous and it reflected the general mood of the community.
