The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi Ojaja II, says he has forgiven Sunday Adeyemo, popularly called Sunday Igboho, after he called him out over his meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari on the issue of herdsmen in the South West.
Moses Olafare, media aide to Ooni, said: “Sunday Igboho still remains a son to the Ooni. Baba has already forgiven him because he had tendered an apology via a video clip he produced via social media yesterday evening.
“The royal father could not bicker with any of his sons even in the face of quantum of provocations.
“Sunday Igboho thereafter released the video in which he tendered his apology. Even though the way and manner Sunday had behaved was sacrilegious to the Oduduwa throne but he has already apologised and I can confirm that Arole Oodua has forgiven him, because, there is no perfection in humanity. Sunday is a human being like any other normal human being who could misbehave as well. No one is perfect!.
“As the father of all, the Arole Oduduwa Olofin Adimula remains his father who had even identified with him in the past two weeks he had 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. Just that he must watch his back so that people with ulterior motives will not hijack his movement.”
Olafare told The Punch that Ooni has urged residents of the region to “let the sleeping dog lies on the matter because Sunday had been forgiven and life must go on”.
