The Paramount Ruler of Iwoland, HRH Oba Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi, has thrown his weight behind the Ogun State House of Assembly’s OGHA, legislation on Obaship installation and burial processes in Yorubaland.
The Oluwo equally commended the sponsors of the bill led by the first-class monarchs in the Gateway State such as the Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Adetona, Alake of Egbaland, HRM Oba Adedotun Aremu Gbadebo III, Akarigbo of Remoland, HRM Oba Adeniyi Sonariwo, Olu of Yewaland, HRM Oba Kehinde Olugbenle, for taking the bull by the horns as a pilot project for monarchical installation and burial in Yorubaland.
Oba Akanbi described the bill as a step forward to attract generations to Yoruba culture.
He revealed the bill will strengthen and further empower traditional rulers to be independent of secret cult’s dictatorial tendency and control.
The Oluwo lauded the monarchs for entrenching pure monarchy devoid of idolatry, imploring other states to propagate similar bill aimed at protecting certain rights of the kings.
Oba Akanbi expressed worry over the despotism tendency of secret and confraternity societies to pocket ungodly monarchs in the name of rituals and rites, saying the bill is a relief for true kinship.
He then called on other Houses of Assembly to emulate the template and rescue traditional institution from going into extinction.
