The Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi, has finally accepted the decision of the Osun State Traditional Rulers Council to have him suspended for six months.
Recall that the council in a meeting presided over by the Ooni of Ife, suspended the monarch from attending its meetings over his alleged faceoff with the Agbowu of Ogbaagbaa, Oba Dhikurulahi Akinropo last week.
But the monarch had descried the suspension as a fake one, insisting that he’s still on the throne and would still attend their meetings.
A statement issued by the Secretary to the Oluwo in Council, Kamoru Ademola, said the Council regretted the incident that transpired between Oluwo and the Agbowu of Ogbaagbaa, Oba Dhikurulahi Akinropo, and have now accepted the decision.
Read the statement below…
“The Oluwo in council regrets the unfortunate incident that transpired between the Agbowu of Ogbaagbaa and Oluwo of Iwo last week. We will also like to put it on record that the Oluwo did not at anytime assault the Agbowu or any other Oba for that matter. However, we respect the decision of the Osun State Council of Obas to suspend the Oluwo from the Council of Obas meetings; though the suspension was harsh and undeserved, the Oluwo will abide by it.
Once again, we express our gratitude and respect to the Council of Obas and the leadership under the imperial majesty, the Ooni of Ife, Oba Babatunde Enitan Ogunwusi.”
