Idol Worshipping: How Oluwo chased me out of his palace like baby – Ooni of Ife

The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi has disclosed how Oluwo of Iwo , Oba Abdul-Rasheed Akanbi chased out him out of his palace in Iwo.

The monarch revealed this in a trending video on social media at the weekend.

Ooni who spoke in Yoruba language disclosed he visited Oluwo at his palace in Iwo but was chased away like a baby.

His words, “When I visited Oluwo, he chased me out like a child, since that incident, I have always maintained myself going close to him. Now that you people (attendees) are imploring that I visit him again, what if he does what he likes to me?

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

The Ooni is know for pursuing unity agenda among traditional rulers in the region and Nigeria but Oluwo has been on the other side, especially with his war against idol worshipping among Yoruba traditional rulers.

The Ooni has condemned traditional rulers advocating against Yoruba tradition without making reference to Oluwo, but Oba Akanbi has always described idol worshipping as alien to Yoruba tradition and culture.
