Oluwo chased me out of his palace like a child – Ooni of Ife

The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has narrated how Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi chased him out of his palace.

The monarch made this known while explaining why he had kept a distance from the Olowu and contained all his excesses.

Ooni, in a now controversial video on social media, stated that the incident happened when he visited the Oluwo of Iwo in his palace.

Narrating his ordeal, Ooni said, “When I visited Oluwo, he chased me out like a child, I have always maintained myself going close to him since that incident.

“Now that you people are imploring that I visit him again, what if he does the same?

“But I have to contain his excesses as an elder, although I’m a young person but I’m sitting on the throne of the elders. Oluwo, I greet you.”

Ooni, in the viral video, did not speak on any rift between him and Oluwo as both are respected monarchs in Osun State.
