Forgive Me, It Was Because I Was Pained – Sunday Igboho Apologies To Ooni

Sunday Adeyemo, a youth leader better known as Sunday Igboho, has apologised to Enitan Ogunwusi, the Ooni of Ife, hours after he described the monarch as a “Fulani slave”.

According to Igboho, the Ooni had failed to tell President Muhammadu Buhari during a meeting in Abuja, the truth about the plight of Yoruba people in the hands of herders.

Igboho had, during a virtual town hall with Yorubas in the Diapora on Wednesday, described Ogunwusi; Bola Tinubu, national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC); Seyi Makinde, the Oyo governor, and Yoruba politicians in general, as “Fulani slaves”.

However, the youth leader, in an interview on an online broadcast medium, begged for forgiveness from the monarch, whom he described as his father, adding that he was caught in the moment.

Igboho said the Yoruba tradition doesn’t permit the insult of elders and he did not insult the Ooni.  However, if it appears as if he did, the Ooni should forgive him.
