Reactions have continued to trail former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s ordering of traditional Rulers in Oyo State to stand up and sit down, with a former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode describing Obasanjo’s action as a “grave insult to the Yoruba people and our traditional institutions.”
Obasanjo was shown in viral videos making the rounds tongue-lashing the Obas in Oyo state for not standing to honour him, and consequently ordered them to “stand and sit.”
In his reaction in a lengthy post on X on Saturday, Fani-Kayode said it was saddening that Obasanjo once known for respecting monarchs degenerated into bullying them.
