I’m Not In Jonathan’s Campaign Team —Olu Of Ilaro

 

            The Olu of Ilaro and Paramount Ruler of Yewaland in Ogun State, Oba Kehinde Olugbenle, has denied a media report that he is among traditional rulers who are being mobilized to reach out to the electorate on behalf of President Goodluck Jonathan.
A statement issued yesterday by the Personal Assistant to the King, Mr. Bolaji Leigh, said it was wrong to include his name among people working for the President’s re-election without his consent.

“The Paramount Ruler of Yewaland hereby clarifies for the avoidance of doubt and record that he was not aware of such assignment and in fact has never met with the royal Fathers claimed to be in the same team with him in his life.
“It is very untraditional in Yorubaland and not in the character of the very revered and respected Olu of Ilaro to accept assignment on the pages of newspaper or by text messages from faceless characters,” Leigh said
