Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, the Ooni of Ife, has revealed what Buhari said to him at their January meeting and how he counseled Sunday Igboho based on it, but the Yoruba Nation agitator decided to listen to the wrong advisers.
After meeting President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja, Oba Ogunwusi said he counseled Sunday Igboho on his activities.
He claimed that Igboho failed to heed the president’s warning because of bad advise. He went on to say that instead of listening, Igboho insulted the traditional authorities who were advising him.
If Igboho had heeded the warning, according to the Ooni of Ife, he would not be in this predicament.
In an interview with BBC yoruba, the monarch revealed the information.
The monarch said: “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."
After his attempt to get to Germany was thwarted, Igboho is currently imprisoned in Benin Republic.
