Olofa breaks silence, distances self from Obi’s leaked audio
Legit.ng earlier reported that the Olofa of Offa, Oba Mufutau Gbadamosi, has dissociated himself from the leaked conversation between Bishop David Oyedepo and Peter Obi of the Labour Party.
Oba Gbadamosi maintained that he was a father figure to all, irrespective of tribe and religion, while warning the public to desist from unguarded manipulation of facts.
According to the traditional ruler, there is nothing between him and Peter Obi, the candidate of the Labour Party, and the palace only welcomed him as every Oba would do.
