Oluwo of Iwoland is at it again

The Oluwo of Iwoland in Osun state, Abdulrasheed Akanbi who recently faced serious backlash for wearing a Northern attire and reportedly saying he wants to henceforth be addressed as the ''Emir of Yorubaland'' is back again.

He said ethnic divide has done the nation much damage, beseeching people to appreciate modern practices obtainable in developed nations for national development. He pointed only Lagos and Osun State are accommodating and voting people of different ethnic attachment into the positions of authority.

He advised the wearing of other tribe's clothes for love and unity to show that Nigeria one and preparing a better future for every Nigerian regardless of where they chose to live. He also called upon other kings to adopt every Nigerian as their own child.

He pointed palaces are central actors in vital exclusive decisions most especially in the promotion of unity in the country, appealing to monarchs across the country to treat Nigerians equally and make their palace open to everyone. In his address at the installation ceremony held at Oluwo's palace square noted the religious and ethnic fights have seriously reduced Nigeria economy.


He said many ethnic clashes would have frustrating should people see every monarch as their father and central authority. He pointed the authority of the palace discriminate nor stigmatize but only acted as father to all parties involved in an issue.
