The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, has issued a statement
reacting to the statement credited to his palace on the public insult incidence
which happened earlier during the week.
The statement credited to the Oba’s Palace had threatened the Oba Of Lagos
requesting for an apology.
In reaction to the statement which was described as untrue, the Ooni said in
the statement issued by his director of media and public affairs, Comrade
Moses Olafare, “the palace of Ooni is using this medium to dissociate Ooni of
Ife from the statement credited to Mr Tunde Awoyemi and we have said it
repeatedly that we have no official reaction to the issue of Oba Akiolu”.
“Kabiyesi Ogunwusi is committed to his peace and unity agenda, which he has
embarked on since he ascended the throne of his forefathers. We refrain from
reacting officially, with a view to avoiding fanning any ember of discord as Oba
Akiolu remains respected monarch and the Ooni had established a very robust
and healthy relationship with him before his installation as Ooni of Ife”.
“While Ooni would continue to sustain the relationship with Oba Akiolu, we
want to state categorically that the remark credited to Tunde Awoyemi was not
authorised by Ooni and should be disregarded by all Nigerians both at home
and in diaspora”.
Signed;
Comrade Moses Olafare,
Director,
Media & Public Affairs,
Ooni’s Palace.
