Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi, has reacted to his suspension saying he remains the one and only Oluwo of Iwoland.
The monarch said this in a post on his Instagram page today shortly after the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi and traditional rulers under the auspice of the Osun council, unanimously suspended him for assaulting his fellow monarch, Oba Dhikrulahi Akinropo, Agbowu of Ogbaagbaa.
But in a video posted on his Instagram, the monarch is seen dancing at a party to a song that says he is not perturbed by abuses.
A couple of men, who appeared to be his chiefs were also at the party dancing with him to the rendition of a Fuji musician, Wasiu Ayinde.
