OMOYELE SOWORE:  The social media is awash with different opinions on what transpired between the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi and a presidential aspirant, Omoyele Sowore.

The publisher of SaharaReporters, Sowore complained of being delayed for three hours by the Ooni. He refused to prostrate as tradition demands because he was delayed.

Sowore and his entourage were said to have been tear-gassed for protesting at the palace.

Face-off at Ooni’s Palace between Omoyele Sowore – An Eye Witness Account by Abass Oyeyemi

I was at the event. We got there

around 11:48am with Omoyele Omoyele billed to

see Ooni by 12pm.

We waited patiently until 3pm

when the Ooni appeared, Sowore bowed instead

of prostrating. When he was given a microphone

to talk, Sowore said : “I’m a cultured Yoruba man

and I know that when you come to palace, you

prostrate to greet the King.

Kabiyesi, me and members of this movement are upset that you kept us waiting for three hours. Kabiyesi, you came to USA for a program and you entered the venue at the time you were expected to be

there.

Does that mean you respect or value

people over there than we over here?

However, Kabiyesi, permit me to apologize by tendering three prostrations, 1 for you Kabiyesi, 1 for the chiefs and the last one for the people of Ife”

As we prostrated, someone just used pepper

spray on us and we started coughing.

The Ooni wanted to curse the person who did it,

he said the person embarrassed him, that’s the

first time such a thing is happening at the

palace.

That’s what transpired, you can deduce your

opinion from that.
