AARE ONAKAKANFO of Yorubaland, Gani Adams, yesterday, warned against what he termed a deliberate effort by some individuals to drag his name in the mud.
In a statement issued by his media aide, Kehinde Aderemi, the Yoruba warlord, warned that nobody should take his silence for cowardice. Adams, who reacted to the controversy generated by an audio clip, said he was ready to set the records straight on various questions hanging in the balance concerning alleged defamation contained in the clips.
He said that the ongoing legal infraction by both Sunday Adeyemo Igboho and the Chief of Staff to the Lagos State Governor, Tayo Ayinde, was a grand conspiracy to discredit his person, vowing that he was ready to do everything to protect his name and the office he represents.
He said that his reaction became pertinent as it has become evident that those involved, Igboho and Ayinde, are not ready to toe the line of peace, as initiated by the Ooni of Ife, His Imperial Majesty Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi.
Adams said: “The reason for my silence in the midst of various legal and media infractions by Igboho and Ayinde was not because I am a coward, but because of the initial interventions of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, other prominent Obas and several other important personalities in Yorubaland.”
