 The Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdulrasheed Adewale Akanbi, has heavily criticised former  President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo for ordering some traditional rulers at a function in Oyo state, to stand up and greet him.

Reacting to the former president's criticism, The Oluwo stated: "The display by the former president of Nigeria, General Obasanjo was an affront, an intentional desecration and sacrilege against revered stools of Yorubaland.An injury to one is an injury to all. Yoruba traditional rulers are not uniform men anyone can command at will. I don’t blame him, those royal fathers who stood up to obey such an embarrassing direction are to be blamed. The show by the former general is condemnable." The Oluwo further emphasized that former president Obasanjo owes the entire Yoruba traditional institution an apology for his "desecration".
