The pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, has remonstrated with former President Olusegun Obasanjo over the incident in Iseyin, Oyo State on 15 September where he publicly rebuked traditional rulers, ordering them to “stand and sit down.”
The incident had attracted widespread angry reactions among the Yoruba with many accusing the former president of disrespecting the traditional institution and culture of the people.
Afenifere spoke for the first time on the issue on Wednesday through a communique issued at the end of its monthly meeting held at the residence of its retired leader, Reuben Fasoranti, in Akure, Ondo State.
