It has come to light that the former President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo, has been stripped of all his traditional titles in Yoruba land. This unprecedented move was taken by the apex group, Yoruba Council Worldwide as a result of his refusal to apologize for his stand-up order.
This order was considered to be a shameful affront to the dignity of Yoruba tradition and culture. The Yoruba Council of Elders had previously called on Obasanjo to make amends by apologizing to Oyo monarchs.
However, he remained resolute, unapologetic, and unwavering in his stance that the Governor of a State holds the highest office in the State, and therefore owes nobody an apology.
This significant development has sparked widespread debate and discussion about the role of traditional titles and the importance of respecting cultural norms in Nigeria.
