The Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi, believes that any king who worships idols is a herbalist and should be to quit their throne.
On Monday, July 22, the Monarch expressed this sentiment during a reception hosted by the Iwo community at his palace. He stated that some monarchs from South Western states have expressed their willingness to join a new group he is forming for monarchs who do not worship idols.
According to a statement released in Osogbo by Oluwo’s Chief Press Secretary, Alli Ibrahim, the royal father also stated that monarchs who join the association will only trust in the Almighty God and cautioned idol worshippers to remain away from Yoruba land.
“We are here today to correct the mistakes of the past and rewrite history, to challenge lies and lay a formidable foundation for truth to strive. One of the purposes of meaningful existence is to correct the mistakes of the past. It may take time, truth has no duplicate. The glory of Yorubaland will shine again. We will clean the throne for the prosperity of our dear land.
We have commenced cultural revolt against adulterated monarchy. Kings worshipping idols are herbalists. They should quit the throne. We want to make the throne, which is the head clean. When the head is good, the body will be sound. Deity worshiping is a religion not culture.
Idol Worshipers should stop mixing the wrong with the right. Our culture is one of the best worldwide. Today, it has been infected and infracted by deitism. The coordinated step to right the wrong is now. We will pursue it to a logical conclusion.”
According to the announcement, selected and interested monarchs from South Western states have expressed their preparedness to create a Yoruba Monarchs Association that trusts exclusively in Olodumare.
“We want to redirect the throne to God was launched by Oduduwa, the founding father of the throne through a coordinated cultural revolt against adulterated monarchy. All infractions into Yoruba traditional institution will be checked and corrected. A prosperous Yorubaland will rise to be envy others. We will clean the institution and restore the glory of the institution,” Oluwo said
