I warned Sunday Igboho after meeting Buhari, but he didn’t listen – Ooni of Ife

The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi has disclosed that after meeting President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja, he had advised Sunday Igboho over his actions and he won’t be facing the current travail, if he had listened to the warning.

He said Igboho failed to listen to the president’s warning due to wrong advice from people.

The monarch made the revelation in an interview with BBC Yoruba.

Ooni of Ife said rather than listen to the caution, Igboho hurled insults on traditional rulers.

“Many people advised him wrongly. He listened to them. He started abusing everyone, including monarchs.

“After I left President Buhari’s place, I called on monarchs and elders of Yoruba land for a meeting to advise Igboho to exercise patience but he got carried away by the praises of those who were not even solidly behind him.

“He hurled so many bad words but he is still our son. God owns forgiveness. We’ve forgiven him. If he had listened, he wouldn’t have found himself in his current travail,” he said.
