The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has said he owed no one any conciliatory sentiment for stooping to venerate the god-like God amid the thanksgiving administration held in his honor at the Paul's Anglican Church, Ife, after his crowning liturgy.
The Ooni, said this in explanation made accessible to our journalist in Osogbo on Thursday by the Director of Communication and Public Affairs, Ooni's Palace, Ile Ife, Mr. Moses Olafare.
The ruler talked in response to criticisims against him by an online medium Newspunch (Not The Punch) that he stooped down to love God amid the congregation administration.
Ogunwusi said it wasn't right to compare any ruler regardless of his status with the all-powerful God who made the sky and the earth, saying the remark was an endeavor to humiliate the throne.
Ogunwusi said following the god-like God is not Ooni or any ruler's mate he would not stop to love and love him in light of the fact that it was God who enthroned him.
The announcement read, " It is an unsuitable heresy to liken Ooni'risa or other lord to the all-powerful God. God Is the inventor of humanity and it is God that made it workable for the enthronment of any lord.
"The consideration of Ile Oodua has been attracted to a production discharged Wednesday sixteenth 2015 by an online medium known as NEWSPUNCH in which His Imperial Majesty, Ooni'risa and Arole Oodua Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi(OjajaII) was crtisised for bowing to God.
"God remains the most astounding, the lord of rulers who has kept all rulers alive and has made it workable for me to be delegated as the ruler of the wellspring of Yoruba civilisation.
"I have no second thoughts at all to kneel down to lift up the omnipotent God who did make me, as well as kept me alive, saw me through every one of the tempests throughout my, life-voyage and in the long run delegated me as the overseer of Oodua race.
"This demonstration of comparing me to God of lords of ruler of rulers and the sole proprietor of the universe is a shrewd heresy wanted to humiliate the throne. My development as Oba has been made conceivable just by the god-like Olodumare to whom I remain forever thankful."
