Could
citizens and close aids be in denial of the Oba's death Or are the Chiefs playing traditional politics? According
to new report, Joseph Ijaodola, an Oba and the Lowa of Ife, who briefed newsmen
at the Ooni palace at Enuwa, in Ile-Ife early yesterday, said the monarch was
hale and hearty.
RTC, which is
a combination of traditional chiefs and title holders’ said the report that the
monarch died in a hospital in the United Kingdom was untrue.
Ijaodola
said: “I hereby dispel the rumour that our Baba, the Olubuse is dead. As I
speak with you, the chiefs have not heard anything like that. This is not the
first time such rumour will be carried about our father.
‘’ They did
it in 1982, also in 2004 and now, these people are coming up with another
rumour. Ooni remains in sound state of health.”
