The Olu of Ilaro and Paramount Ruler of Yewaland in Ogun State, Oba Kehinde Olugbenle, has dismissed media reports that he is one of the traditional rulers being mobilised to reach out to the electorate on behalf of President Goodluck Jonathan. The paramount Yewa ruler made this disclosure in a statement issued on Wednesday by his personal assistant Mr Bolaji Leigh. According to the statement, “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 and as such, disassociates himself from such campaign train, if at all it is true, as it is embarrassing and degrading.”
