All Progressives Congress (APC) National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has been lambasted by Yinka Odumakin for sitting down while greeting Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi.

Odumakin said; “Although monarchs no longer hold political power, it is important for traditional institutions to be respected especially by the Yoruba people.”

“In 2016, former President Olusegun Obasanjo who is many years older than the monarch, bowed down to greet him.”

“We are still Yoruba people. With due respect to our royal fathers, we should not say because we are in a modern age, we should not give the proper respect that we give to our oba.”

“You saw the time former President Obasanjo prostrated before the Ooni.”

“So, it is still our culture and we must sustain our culture and give the respect that is due to our monarchs.”
