Afenifere Asks Obasanjo to Apologise to Oyo Traditional Rulers

The Yoruba socio-cultural group Afenifere has asked former President Olusegun Obasanjo to apologise to the Oyo traditional rulers.

On September 15, Obasanjo ordered some traditional rulers to stand up and greet him during the commissioning of a road project in Oyo State.

The former President’s action has caused a stir among Nigerians with many criticising Obasanjo, accusing him of ridiculing the nation’s traditional institution.

In a statement on Wednesday, Afenifere described Obasanjo’s action as shocking, saying the former President acted like a military commander giving orders to his troops.

The group also decried the insecurity situation in the country, urging the Federal Government and security agencies to be more decisive and more proactive.
