BEVERLY HILLS, February 04, (THEWILL) – The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has accepted the apology tendered by popular Yoruba rights activist, Sunday Adeyemo, aka ‘Sunday Igboho.’
He said Igboho, who apologised on Wednesday in a viral video for declaring that the Ooni disappointed Yoruba nation for not speaking the truth on herdsmen killings in the South West during a recent visit to President Buhari, is forgiven.
A statement on Thursday by the Director of Media and Public Affairs, Ooni’s palace, Moses Olafare, said, Sunday Igboho remains the son of Ooni.
The monarch, the statement noted, “has forgiven him as he had tendered an apology via a video clip he produced via social media yesterday evening.
“Before tendering the apology, it was the Olugbon of Ile-igbon that first called and informed Arole Oodua on the phone that he had scolded Sunday on the phone for his misdeeds and that he would soon tender an apology to him on the matter. Sunday Igboho later released a video in which he tendered the apology.
“Even though the way and manner, Sunday behaved was sacrilege to the Oduduwa throne but he has already apologised and I can confirm that Arole Oodua forgave him, because there is no perfection in humanity. Sunday is a human being like a normal human being who could misbehave as well.
“As the father of all, the Arole Oduduwa Olofin Adimula, Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi Ojaja II remains his father who had even identified with him, in the past two weeks, he has begun with the struggle and he is still solidly behind him for the liberation of the Yorubas from criminal herdsmen who have adamantly terrorised our land.”
