According to several online sources, Mr Kunle Oyatomi, Osun APC Director of Research and Publicity made the following statement over the controversy of the Oba of Lagos statement.
Statement below
Let it be known that the title of all our Obas is Kabiyesi. The meaning is that our Obas are mythical. Whenever they say anything, nobody can challenge it. We have heard what they have said and with due reference to democracy, and the culture, we do not in any way challenge the right of any individual or group to their right to their opinions.”
And it is the same right the Oba has to express himself. Nobody must interpret his statements literally because he knows and we all know that nobody has the power of life and death outside God and our laws. To fully understand him, what Oba Akiolu said is that nobody can come to our land, offend our institutions, traditions and our culture and go free.”
