The Olugbo of Ugbo, Oba Akinruntan has been told to withdraw
a statement where he was quoted as saying he is the leader of all Yoruba
monarchs. (Read HERE). The Ulogbo was described as a rabble rouser and an
attention-seeking monarch, for declaring himself as the leader of all Yoruba
Obas.
Reacting to the Oba’s claimed, the Secretary General,
Council of Yoruba Obas, Oba Aderemi Adedapo maintained that the Ooni of Ife
remains the number one king in Yoruba land. He was responding to questions from
Punch on the matter.
Oba Adedapo, who is also the Olojudo of Ido Osun, said the
Olugbo’s claim was untrue. He said no one could rewrite history of the Yorubaland in
order to suit his purpose, adding that the Ooni of Ife remained the leader
without any controversy.
Oba Adedapo, who is also the Coordinator, South-West Council
of Traditional Rulers, said the late Ooni, Oba Okunade Sijuwade, was highly
instrumental to Oba Akinruntan’s ascension to the throne.
He said, “Oba Akinruntan is an attention seeker. He is a rabble rouser, he deserves no response but some people especially outside the country may tend to believe his claim if he is not corrected.Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
“His utterance is part of royal rascality we are talking about. Does he want to rewrite history or what? Nobody can rewrite history. The late Ooni Sijuwade made it possible for him to become the Olugbo.
“He must withdraw that statement within the next 96 hours which is four days. What he is saying is abominable in Yorubaland.”
