Controversial Iwo monarch, Oba Abdul Rosheed Akanbi, has described his suspension as ‘audio’, a street parlance used to refer to something unreal.
In a 58 seconds video gotten by odunews.com, the Oluwo of Iwo stated that the Osun State Council of Traditional Rulers only suspended him from attending meetings which he does ‘not have to go’.
The video which was shot from his palace in Iwo shows the Oluwo appearing relaxed about his six months suspension.
The monarch said:
Good evening, you can see that I’m still in the palace. This is the palace of Oluwo of Iwo land. There was no suspension. The suspension of those council of Obas is audio… Na just audio
There’s no suspension. mapariwo o. the aig cleared it. oluwo didn’t punch anybody. so, don’t listen to some people saying they can suspend me… i didn’t care about their meetings. i remain the alase lori orisa… arole eledumare
The Oluwo had earlier alleged the Obas of suspending him because he was flashy and always ‘swagging’.
Oluwo’s rhetoric’s is not alien to his followers as he has on different occasions stirred controversies with his words and actions.
