Recall that prominent Ibadan Mogaji, Alhaji Abass Oloko, recently warned the Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrasheed Adewale Akanbi, to refrain from denigrating Yoruba culture by calling himself an Emir.
Oloko had expressed his concerns regarding the implications of such titles, which he believes undermine the rich traditions of the Yoruba people.
A statement by ICPI Coordinator and former Ag. Secretary General of CCII, Mogaji Nurudeen Akinade said the Iwo monarch has turned himself into a monster and continues destroying Yoruba’s legacy. He is not the first Oluwo, all his predecessors have never been this controversial.
“Oluwo was seen moving round the VVIP canopy in the presence of all the traditional rulers and prominent personalities almost disrupting the event procedure during the official coronation of Alaafin.of Oyo, who is he trying to impress ? That’s very Childish?
