The pronouncements attracted widespread criticisms from the Yorubas home and abroad.
Igboho, almost immediately retracted his statements and in turn, the respected monarch said he has forgiven him, and remains “solidly behind Igboho’s quest to route out criminal herdsmen from Yoruba land.
The media aide to the Ooni, Moses Olafere made the disclosure on Thursday, 4th February.
The statement:
“Sunday Igboho still remains a son of the Ooni. Baba has already forgiven him because he had tendered an apology via a video clip he produced via social media yesterday evening.
“The royal father could bicker with any of his sons even in the face of quantum provocations.
“Sunday Igboho thereafter released the video in which he tendered his apology. Even though the way and manner Sunday had behaved was sacrilegious to the Oduduwa throne be he has already apologised and I can confirm that Arole Oodua has forgiven him, because there is no perfection in humanity. Sunday is a human being like any other normal human being who could misbehave as well. No one is perfect !
“As the father of all, the Arole Oduduwa Olofin Adimula remains his father who had even identified with him in the past two weeks he had began with the struggle and he is still solidly behind him for the liberation of the Yorubas from criminal herdsmen who have adamantly terrorised our land. Just that he must watch his back so that people with ulterior motives will not hijack his movement.“
