Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi, the Oluwo of Iwoland in Osun State, declared he had chosen the way of dignity to serve his people over entertainment.
On Saturday, October 9, the monarch said on his official social media website that if he had chosen merriment, he would have been flying on private jets acquired at the expense of his subjects.
“As a king, if I were to chose merriment, by now , I would be riding in private jets at the likely expense of my aspiring subjects by selling their properties mostly the land. I chose the path of honour to serve them so I can be served tomorrow. The most important is, as the symbol of my subjects, I submit them to God not idols. That is the simple way I earn their trust and respect, always. OLUWO OF IWOLAND” he wrote.
