The Lowa Adimula of Ife, High Chief Adekola Adeleye, who said he is the Ooni’s second in command “to the left”, explained that the Ooni cannot be seen to be taking sides with any of the candidates.
There is a polling unit by the Ooni’s palace, but he did not come out to vote.
“It’s not good for the Ooni to vote for any candidate. If he must vote, it will be for all the candidates because he’s the father of all, but that’s not possible, so kingmakers advised him not to vote.
“He cannot take sides. All the candidates are Ooni’s subjects and so it’s better for a father to be neutral when his children are in a contest,” Adeleye told our reporter.
Ooni’s traditional Aide De Camp said the royal father only blessed all the candidates, wished them well and prayed for a peaceful election.
Kings don't vote so as not to be seen an been partial

We know that traditional leaders do not vote anywhere. Why are they making it out to be like a new gesture. Attentiion seeking people .Nothing new. Please make life honourable for the local people in Osun State. Reading about what people go through on daily basis is shameful.
