Regardless of Oyo Obas’ episode, Obasanjo prostrated for me – Oluwo

The paramount ruler of Iwoland, Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi, says former President Olusegun Obasanjo, is a well-cultured man.

The traditional institution is an integral system of Nigerian society, as it accommodates religious tenets, political principles, and social ethics, as well as cultural values.

In an interview with Vanguard, the monarch said, “Baba Obasanjo is a well-cultured man. He had come here before and prostrated before me. I think what happened in Oyo recently was a personal issue between him and a king who talked about him.

“And Baba didn’t know where to scold that king and I don’t think he could have done that. So, he decided to scold him right there. Obasanjo is a very good man and well-respected. He respects traditional institutions too. So, that’s why I came out and did what I did, I needed to do that at that time.”

Recall that the former president went viral on social media recently when a video of him commanding some monarchs to stand during an event in Oyo State.
