Oyo Monarchs’ Encounter: You Can’t Try Such With An Emir, Oluwo Blasts Obasanjo by ijustdey(op): 2:46pm On Sep 16, 2023

The Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdulrasheed Adewale Akanbi, on Saturday knocked former President Olusegun Obasanjo for ordering the traditional rulers at a function to stand up and honour him.

On Friday, Obasanjo, at the opening of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology College of Agriculture and Renewable Natural Resources in Iseyin, Oyo State, was angry that the monarchs failed to honour him when he mounted the podium to speak.

Oluwo, in a statement by his press secretary on Saturday, described Obasanjo’s display as condemnable, saying it was an affront, desecration and sacrilege against revered stools of Yorubaland.

“An injury to one is an injury to all. Yoruba traditional rulers are not uniform men anyone can command at will. I don’t blame him, those royal fathers who stood up to obey such an embarrassing direction are to be blamed,” he said.

“Yoruba traditional institutions demand an apology for the open desecration to molest and bring down the institution. He needs to prove himself as a core Yoruba man with an apology letter. Kings are not toddlers. We are fathers. He will never dare that against the Northern Emirs.”

He said Obasanjo’s action should be a great challenge to Yoruba, most especially the royal fathers.

“This is the result when monarchs joined Ogboni confraternity and became junior to a road side mechanical engineer or carpenter. As a responsible monarch, you don’t have to join any secret society where you may be controlled by a teacher or even a herbalist.

“I trust myself and my stool. At death, there are certain things my soul will not take let alone when alive, active and kicking. I only blame the monarchs who stood in obeisance to such an ignoble and desecrating of traditional institutions from the old man. Respects should be earned not demanded.

“Traditional rulers respect their subjects too. There is a way respect is accorded to people of old age and position by monarchs. Kingship is an institution of God. As such, relating with kings requires a high sense of modesty, courtesy and respect.”

Nonsense talk. President obasanjo did nothing wrong.
It is even worse in the north.
In the north, a governor will not only stand an emir but he will sack him and divide his throne.
Ask the former emir of kano .

Oluwo opinion can't be trusted in this context because he may be hiding under religion to to give bias opposition to Obasanjo. Obasanjo was not insulting but correcting reality on ground based on constitution of Nigeria. Who doesn't know that governor and president are superior to ceremonial obas? Obasanjo has paid his due many times prostrating publicly for Kings, attitude of some of the kings may really be responsible for pushing Obasanjo on that public outburst

Obj is one of the yoruba elders we respect most. As custom demands, he's prostrated for Ooni Ogunwusi, someone old enough to be his grandson in the past. He's done same to alake times without number.

Which emir is oluwo referring to here?Obasanjo is the only respected leader in Nigeria amongst Northern traditional rulers. Emirs had stood up to shake hands with him without being compelled, severally.

This Oluwo is just making noise don't mind him o.

If a GCFR ask you to stand up, pls stand up o

Even if King George of England comes here, and a GCFR ordered him to stand up, he must obey.

A GCFR is the power-pinnacle of the Nigerian state. And a GCFR is a GCFR, doesn't matter if he's the seating President. Tor.

Fact is the constitution has no serious place for monarchs.

Infact, a local govt chairman is constitutionally powerful than a monarch.

A governor can remove or depose any monarch and nothing will happen.

Who is in charge of police?
Even monarchs know this.

Understanding is very important here

The protocol is whenever the President or The Governor walks into an event, you stand to welcome him, because he is the constituited authority and symbol power of the people

Also whenever you visit a palace you bow to the king and his royal stool as a respect to the kingdom

Something big is cooking for him to be quiet this long
He will probably publish a book spilling all the Beans and Skeletons in the Cupboard of Obasanjo

But to be honest Baba Iyabo did look a bit Tipsy Baba might have had a bit too much to drink
