The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye
Enitan Ogunwusi (Ojaja II), on Thursday addressed speculations of a rift
between him and Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrasheed Adewale Akanbi.
The monarch, speaking at the
meeting of Osun State Traditional Rulers’ Council inside his place on Thursday,
insisted there was no issue between them.
Oba Ogunwusi also declared that
the paramount ruler (Oba Akanbi) had not been prevented from partaking in the
meeting of the council of traditional rulers in Osun.
Addressing the cross-section of
Obas during the meeting, Oba Ogunwusi explained that “it’s been long since we
held this meeting. The meeting is usually held on a monthly basis. This is not
the time to point accusing fingers at anybody.
“The Timi of Ede came to me and
told me that he would not be here because he was travelling out and that he had
scheduled the trio before the meeting was called. So, also is Orangun of Ila. I
greet Oluwo especially. Like I always say, all of you left here. I am the
caretaker here. Unity and development of our state are very important.
“Some traditional rulers have
joined their ancestors since our last meeting. They include Olubosin of
Ifetedo, Salu of Edunabon and Olulamokun of Yakoyo. We should portray ourselves
the way we should. We should carry ourselves with dignity and royalty. We
should unite and stand as one. Our meeting is how to bring about development to
our state and the nation”.
“I greet Oluwo especially, being
his first time coming here. Nobody is asking you not to come here. This is your
house”, Oba Ogunwusi remarked.
