Like obedient pupils will respond to their headmaster, all the Kings stood up in all their regalia.
The Ex-President when explaining his points, stressed that that despite the fact that he is no more the President and governor Makinde may be young, the governor has the highest position in the state and curtsy is expected from the monarchs.
According to Obasanjo in Yoruba, “I greet the kings and chiefs here sitting; I am grateful that you are here. Let me say this: wherever the president or governor is, the kings present must stand up to honor him.
“In Yoruba land, there are two things that are most respected among others: age and position. When a governor is still in power, he’s more powerful than any king.
“Even when I was president, I prostrated for kings outside, and when we went inside, the kings would prostrate for me. So, let’s always celebrate our culture.”
