the Ewi of Ado-Ekiti, Oba Rufus Adejugbe

Ekiti Obas can receive the President in
their home state and not OAU at a function

their borrowed robe suddenly filled Gov
Fayose escort to endorse Jonathan and
not to receive him.
"Was Jonathan coming to Ekiti? How may
Ondo State Traditional rulers graced the
programme?
"How many Osun State Obas, Ogun and
Oyo suddenly became President Jonthan
convoy team to a meeting supposedly
organised to rally support for him?
"You and I know why these Obas were
there. They may have been lucksturally
deceived by Fayose in presenting entire
Ekiti before President Jonathan as peoples
choice and candidate.
"Traditional rulers are separable of
despotic politics. An interplay that has no
moral, cultural ground is justifiably an ills
to our values and norms. Egbon, that is my
point. Where then is their integrity. So,
again I heard they were paid 150k each."
Reacting, Special Assistant to Ekiti State
Governor on Public Communications and
New Media, Lere Olayinka described the
comment as an insult on the entire people
of Ekiti.

and watch anyone dragging the traditional
institution in Ekiti State in the mud
