How Asiwaju Tinubu, Ooni Of Ife Fall Apart

The question of who is superior between the Kingmaker and monarch has become a talking point in social science.

In southwest Nigeria, it is safe to conclude that erstwhile Governor of Lagos State and the National Leader of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu is the biggest Kingmaker.

In recent years, his influence and financial strength have seen the emergence of a new crop of monarchs loyal to him.

One of such monarchs is the Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Ogunwusi whose recent encounter with Asiwaju Bola Tinubu at the coronation of the new Oniru of Iru Land, Oba Gbolahan Lawal has been attracting reactions.

Reaction on Asiwaju Tinubu not standing up to greet the Ooni Ogunwusi has seen talks of the former disrespecting the revered stool.

With this situation, comes the question of who is supposed to be more powerful between the King and the Kingmaker.
