Like I have told them while inside, I was not in town when the said invasion was carried out and so could not have been involve in whatsoever the petitioner decided to write. And let me set the record straight, I am the Custodian of the custom of my people and that alone won’t allow me get involve in things that will bring shame to my people, and it is on this note I wish to let everybody know that my stands in the Emergence of the New Olu is back up by the laws of our Custom which is mostly the wish of the people so it is not personal”. he added.
