The bitter war between Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrasheed Adewale Akanbi and Chief Abiola Ogundokun has taken a fresh dimension.
Ogundoku revealed that; “I he went on a private visit to governor Oyetola unknowingly that Oluwo Akanbi and others were with the governor in his sitting room inside Government House, Osogbo.”
“Surprisingly for the first time since the crisis between me and Oluwo started, Oluwo greeted me to welcome me to the venue like others present there did which I responded to.”
“A rude shock followed the greetings as Oluwo told the governor that I gave his divorced wife, Channel poison to kill him. This led to provocation from both of us but the governor pleaded to us to calm down with a vow to put an end to the crisis that day at all costs by the special grace of God.”
“I made Governor Oyetola realised that the royal princes from the four ruling houses in Iwo had visited me last December 21, 2019 in my house in Iwo to beg me to put an end to the crisis with Oluwo Akanbi in company of his Oluwo’s lawyer, Barrister Abolusodun.”
“Oluwo Akanbi himself spoke to me on that day through his lawyers phone promising to apologise publicly and renounce all the falsehood he levied against me on different platforms to which I responded by asking them to give me time to consult all my sympathisers.”
“God’s time is the best as Governor Oyetola insisted that the crisis must be brought to an end that day inside the Government House, Osogbo at all cost by the special grace of God.
“God answered Governor Oyetola as his very persuasive, touchy and diplomatic mediation worked. It is only a devil that would at that point refuse the Godly minded and gentlemanly intervention of Governor Oyetola.”
“When Governor Oyetola brokered the peace, he warned the two sides not to issue any press statement or address any press conference on it only for me to start reading a one-sided press statement issued by Oluwo’s Chief Press Secretary, Alli Ibraheem dated January 15, 2020 published in various newspapers and social media platforms.”
