Olafare stated:
“Before tendering the apology, it was the Baba Olugbon of Ile-Igbon that first called and informed Arole Oodua on phone that he had scolded Sunday on phone on his misdeeds, and that he would soon tender a public apology to him on the matter via a video release. Sunday Igboho thereafter released the video in which he tendered his apology."
Earlier, Oba Ogunwusi had reacted to the derogatory comments made against him by Igboho.
The first-class monarch who spoke through Olafare described Igboho's comments as irresponsible.
Olafare also said the palace would appropriately handle the threat of violence made by Igboho against the monarch.
Igboho had during a virtual town hall meeting on Wednesday, February 3, with Nigerians in the diaspora, attacked Ooni and some southwest political leaders.
He specifically accused the respected Yoruba monarch of collecting dollars from President Muhammadu Buhari when he recently visited the Presidential Villa recently.
