We have not forgotten

THE Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuwade, has responded to a statement credited to the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Bola Tinubu, that “there were three good traditional rulers in Yorubaland,” saying it was the traditional rulers in the South West that held their subjects together, giving room for people like him (Tinubu) to actualise his political ambition.
Oba Sijuwade said this while addressing the audience at a two-day conference of foremost traditional rulers in Osun State on the overall development of the state, in Osogbo.
The traditional ruler said he had to express his protest over the statement credited to Tinubu on behalf of the majority of Yoruba rulers in Nigeria.
According to Oba Sijuwade, Tinubu had forgotten that “when our country was upside down, it was the traditional rulers in this country that saved the situation. If we left the country as politicians did, there would have been no state for the leader of APC to rule when he came back.
“Two among the three obas mentioned by him were the best friends of the late military head of state, General Sani Abacha and among them, one was on the paylist of the late General and one lifted crude oil allocated to him by General Abacha. You can ask them, Abacha gave me money on more than one occasion, but I refused.
“And if you want to talk of the annulment of late Chief M.K.O. Abiola’s election, these two/three traditional rulers should be properly investigated, because they were neither here nor there,” the traditional ruler said.
He also used the medium to caution political leaders against unguarded and unfounded statements which had to do with traditional rulers, to always be sure of their facts before going public.
“If any of our leaders wants to make a categorical statement on an important issue like the Oba in Yorubaland, he should please try to check records to know exactly what each one of them has done, because there is so much blackmailing and, fortunately, the late Abacha’s Chief Security Officer (CSO) is alive and he is in a position to tell the world the obas who were close associates of his late boss,” Oba Sijuwade added.
The two-day programme had in attendance, the governor of Osun State, Mr Rauf Aregbesola, his deputy, Mr Titilayo Laoye-Tomori, traditional rulers in the state as well the Alake of Egbaland, Oba (Dr) Aremu Gbadebo; the Olowo of Owo kingdom, Oba (Dr) Victor Folagbade Olateru-Olagbegi, who was represented by Dr Okajare Solomon.
In his presentation, Oba Olateru-Olagbegi preached unity among the obas, saying, “genuine unification of Yorubaland can bring back the much-cherished heritage of love, unity and solidarity of our forebearers.”
Speaking at the programme, Governor Aregbesola, who described the traditional rulers as custodians of culture, further enjoined them to ensure peace in their domains.
“Traditional rulers are powerful, reverred in Yorubaland and their subjects attest to this. Therefore, I urge you to use your influence in your various domains to ensure that peace reigns perpetually beyond election period,” he said.

What should we do with the tales by the moonlight sir

Sijuade was the previous Ooni.

This story is several years old.

And I can't see anywhere in the story where the then Ooni 'blasted' Tinubu.

Unnecessary sensationalism.

The story is several years fresh
Ooni accused Tinubu of running away whiles they stayed and fought for democracy
Nothing sensational about that

. Kabiyesi Onirisa
Oba Sijuwade was NPN and later PDP He became king in 1980 .It was Awolowo who told Bola Ige to crown him regardless of Party differences. Baba used his party membership to win national and federal influences. Asiwaju was in UPN AD ACN and now in APC. There was a conflict of politics between Asiwaju and Oba Sijuwade then just as it was btween the Kabiyesi and Bisi Akande On Abiola saga, many Nigerians especially the Awosits believed Oba Sijuwade had a tussle with Abiola and he was not POSSIBLY supporting him. .There was even a time Oba Sijuwade palace was attacked by OAU students after annulment of June 12 because of the interview he granted in Abuja after meeting with Babangida..Kabiyesi was reported to have sought safety at Iwara in the palace of Oba Adewale Kaseem for about a month. Kunle Ologundudu in his song then referred to this incident. Truly many Obas in Nigeria and some Yorubas contributed to the stillbirth of June 12. by collecting money from Babangida .I am saying this not to disrespect Yoruba kingdom and the revered Ooniship. I am a Yoruba too from Osun State. Every Oonirisa is my Father. Now the present Oni of Ife was enthroned by APC. The reference to Oba Sijuwade utterance holds no water again as Yoruba Obas are behind Tinubu including Kabiyesi Oba Ogunwusi.

Irrelevant nonsense.
All totally fictional

What evidence do you have that Ooni was in NPN or PDP. and how is that relevant here?

Bottomline is Tinubu said
all Yoruba Obas are useless except 3

Is that True or False? That is what matters here

Not all these diversionary tactics

I have said it. Tinubu is not a unifier,he is a wicked being that only cares about himself.

. Only those who know about the rivakry between. Bisi Akande Bola Ige Tinubu and other Awosists in relation to June 12 then would grasp the vituperation of Asiwaju and the historical background I gave. I was not there when Asiwaju made this utterance. However many of our Yoruba Obas and politicians contribted to the June 12 Criss by collecting money from Abacha. Bisi Akande occasionally visited Ife because of party differences . The June 12 crisis might have made Tinubu accuse
Obas. Those who were there then can butress what the Awosists went through on June 12 matter. As I said earlier the unity of Yorubas has gone beyond this age long matter. The Yorubas including all our revered Obas are behind Tinubu project.

The Tinubu project is dead on arrival. It will not happen
Anyone can come out and claim to know some imaginary facts that are top secret that no one else know.

Tinubu is on record of insulting Yoruba Obas publicly because he holds them in contempt
