Similarly, late last year, Governor Adeleke sparked outrage on social media after a video of him snubbing the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, made rounds online. In the clip, the two were at an event when the Ooni stood up to greet the Governor, stretching his hands, which Governor Adeleke snubbed.
The video left many embarrassed for the monarch, while others defended Adeleke’s action, noting how the King wasn’t supposed to shake hands with anyone.
