The monarch spoke after a close-door meeting with Gov. Abiola Ajimobi at the Government House, Ibadan.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Akanbi led 11 “Beaded Crown” Obas from Iwoland to the meeting.
Akanbi said he had spoken with the Olubadan on the crisis, and the discussion with the governor on Wednesday showed that the issue would soon be resolved.

The monarch said that Ajimobi had insisted that the Olubadan was more like a father to him and should be highly respected.

NAN recalls that the state government had, on Aug. 27, elevated and installed 21 new Obas in Ibadan, the state capital.
