Obasanjo's Public Insult on Oyo State Royal Fathers, A Disgrace to Yoruba Traditional Institution: Omoluabi Group Reacts.

Obasanjo's Public Insult on Oyo State Royal Fathers, A Disgrace to Yoruba Traditional Institution: Omoluabi Group Reacts.

It has come to the notice of Omoluabi Team Alliance Socio- cultural Group through a viral video in circulation where the former president of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo insulted royal fathers in their full traditional regalia at a public function reported to have been held somewhere in Oyo state.

 Asking the traditional rulers to stand up in the public as the only way to honour his presence is barbaric, unacceptable and should be totally condemned by all. He Olusegun Obasanjo has once again shown to the Yoruba people that his citizenship and indigeneship of yoruba land calls for further doubt following rumors that the former president is not a true born of Yorubaland. 

Omoluabi group deem it fit to call on all sons and daughters of yoruba land to immediately chastise and rebuke such act which should not be condoned an inch. These royal fathers are community heads and custodians of traditions.

They represent deities from the popular Yoruba land and should not be drag into such public mess.

 Can he Obasanjo try such to the Oba of Benin? Can he attempt such to any emir in the north? Such actions in the public asking kabiyesis' to stand up and greet him is tantamount to disrespecting the tradition and culture of showing absolute respect to our royal fathers' in Yoruba land. Up till now we are yet to read on any media space that he Obasanjo congratulated the new President of Nigeria neither has he passed any comment positive enough since Bola Ahmed Tinubu was sworn in as Commander- in- chief of the Federal republic of Nigeria. Yoruba nation watches the actions of this man and some others in same manner who seems not to be comfortable with the 2023 renewed hope agenda victory.  Posterity will definitely lurk around to judge them .

Also to the royal fathers' they have shown so much disappointment and acts that further diminish their age long values and dignity they carry as kings in their various domains. None of those kings in attendance could challenge such public show of shame from an ex- president not even an incumbent. We must begin to get it right again in Yoruba land by choosing kings through traditional rites and deities that do not negotiate truth for lies. If we are quiet over this matter, Governors and even Local Government chairmen will do worse to our traditional rulers in the public space. 

Clarion call to the Ooni of Ife Oba Ogunwusi Enitan, Ojaja II and other high ranking obas'  to immediately release a press statement on behalf of the Yoruba council of Obas' being their supreme head and rebuff such actions as not appropriate while open apology be sent in video and in writing to the good people of Yoruba land and yoruba speaking people across the globe. If not done, we assure you that the worse will be done even to the Ooni himself by other politicians who may think they have seen it all.

Omoluabi Team Alliance as  a socio- cultural group will continue to protect the interest of the Yoruba nation in all circumspect.

Obasanjo should prove us wrong immediately that he is a worthy son of Yoruba land and therefore will make his apology public any moment soon for such condemnable act.

Think Omoluabi!

Act Omoluabi!!
