The newly crowned Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Abimbola Owoade I, has triggered diverse reactions after he refused to stand to greet the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, during a recent event in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
The two chiefs met at the recent commissioning of a newly constructed Information and Communication Technology (ICT) hub in Ibadan, organized by the First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu.
During the event, the Ooni of Ife walked into the venue and started greeting dignitaries present at the event grounds. The dignitaries were all seen standing to greet him as he passed by them.
However, when he got to the Alaafin of Oyo, he only stretched his hand and greeted him without getting up from his seat.
This action has triggered diverse reactions from netizens.
