It is amazing he was alleged his conducts against some monarchs are not in tune with them. We came to address an allegation of beating another King. How do my conducts affect another monarch? Must I toe the same path with other monarchs?
The pronouncement itself is subject to the approval of the state government. The council has no exclusive right to suspend another king from its monthly meeting unless approved by the state government.

Oluwo was never suspended. The suspension reported in the media is just from the monthly council meeting which is subject to the approval of the state government.
All Osun State monarchs were invited to address the allegation that Oluwo punched another Oba. The AIG and the government officials presence came to the meeting as witnesses and gave an account that I didn’t beat any Oba. Oluwo was vindicated. Of surprise to us was that another issue raised against me that his conduct against some Obas were not friendly that could warrant a recommendation for suspension from the monthly meeting.
