'God is my shield' – Oluwo of Iwo
Giving a metaphorical depiction of his battle with his critics and enemies, Oba Akanbi explained that there were assassination plots, dethronement moves, and slanders, which he overcame “through the special grace and power of God Almighty”.
He said:
“They sent a ‘trailer’ to come and kill us. As it hit us, it fell heavily. I saw the angel dragging it. You should believe in one God and have no doubts about Him.”
Oluwo added:
“When you believe in one God, God will send down certain angels to protect you always. Although we have our security team assigned to us, that is merely a formality. Divine protection is what is keeping us safe.”
Furthermore, the Oluwo, a devout Muslim, asserted that no one can dethrone him, adding that he would never derail the honourable route of God.
He said:
“For the umpteenth time, let me reiterate that no one can dethrone me. They have tried it severally and failed. Those actors playing the script are perpetual failure and they will continue to fail.”
