The controversy, which has continued to trail the dehumanization of some traditional rulers in Oyo state, recently by the former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, takes fresh dimensions, as some legal luminaries, political analysts and Human Rights, organizations, have called for the review of the Acts, Edits and parliamentary legislations, which put the royal fathers in Nigeria under the control of political office holders.
The disrespect of the Yoruba monarchs by the former President, who was a special guest of honour at Iseyin, in the Oke Ogun area of Oyo State, where some projects were commissioned by the governor of the state , Engineer Seyi Makinde, was seen as a taboo, which was not expected from a person, who is well respected in Yorubaland and who is also a high chief, and the head of the king makers in Owu kingdom, in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
