Lere Olayinka tackles Ogun state governor for allowing an Oba squat to speak to him at a public function

A former media aide to ex-governor, Ayo Fayose, Lere Olayinka, has tackled the governor of Ogun state, Dapo Abiodun, for allowing a king to squat just to speak to him. The Governor and the monarch met at a public event in Lagos. In a video shared online, the monarch was filmed squatting to speak to the governor.

Olayinka who appears to be displeased by the video, said the shame is not on the monarch but on the Governor who is a Prince and should know better not to allow the monarch squat.

He shared the video on his X page and wrote

‘’Kábíyèsí, Orí Adé, Ọrùn Ìlẹ̀kẹ̀, kneeling to talk to the Imperial Majesty, Prince Dapo Abiodun, the Governor Eleyi of Ogun State.

The shame is not on this Ọba though, it is on the Governor, who himself is a Prince.”
