Trending Video Of Ooni Of Ife, Gov Adeleke At Event Spark Reactions

The Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke and the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogwunwusi, have sparked reactions online with a trending video of the duo at a recent event.

Naija News reports that in the viral video, Adeleke playfully snubbed Ooni when the monarch stretched his hand to greet him.

However, the governor returned to greet the king, which many claimed was disrespectful to the Ooni.

Others also blamed Ooni for his numerous public outings.
