Osun Govt Directs Council of Obas to Monitor Oluwo Over Controversial Remarks

The Osun State Government has instructed the State Council of Obas to closely monitor the actions and statements of Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi, following concerns over his public utterances that could potentially threaten religious tolerance and peaceful coexistence in the state.

In a letter addressed to the Oluwo's secretary, the Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs advised the traditional leader to refrain from making statements that could lead to communal strife and undermine the cultural values of the Yoruba tradition.

The government's position is that the letter was delivered to the palace secretary on Tuesday. However, Oluwo's spokesperson, Alhaji Aliyu Mustapha, denied receiving the communication from the state government, despite the government's assertion that the correspondence was delivered to the monarch's secretary.
