The Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi, has barred the member representing Ayedire/Iwo/Ola-Oluwa federal constituency, Hon Lukman Mudasiru from entering his palace.
In a statement he posted on his official Facebook page, the monarch accused the federal lawmaker of neglecting Iwoland’s traditional institutions.
Oba Akanbi said Iwo is the traditional and political head of Osun West Senatorial District, adding that any politician representing any or all areas in the district, owes him a stewardship explanation.
He wrote, “Oluwo is an entity. He is the traditional head of the town. The stool is rich, and further promoted by the incumbent occupant, Oba Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi. Iwo is the traditional and political head of Osun West Senatorial District, Osun State.
“By virtue of these pedigrees, Oluwo deserves the most traditional honour in the district. If you are a politician representing any or all areas in the district, you owe Oluwo stewardship explanation.
“Either directly or indirectly, you are representing the interests of his district. Traditionally, he heads the district, so also is the stewardship account from both elective and appointed political holders.
“A few days ago, Oluwo made open remarks about Hon. Lukman Mudasiru for neglecting Iwoland traditional institutions. And Oba Akanbi openly declared him barred from entering his palace. He can’t enter Oluwo’s palace.
“As a cultured Yoruba man, would you start bathing from the leg? Capital NO. The day a man tries to walk with his head is the day he begins an open madness.”
