He will however not enter the town until tomorrow, 28, and is currently meeting with prominent traditional rulers in Ibadan, Oyo State, according to Premium Times.
“He will not be allowed to come in today. They have insisted that unless they finish carrying some rituals, the Kabiyesi will not be able to enter the town,” a source said.
“So we will have to wait until the finish and that will be tomorrow,” the source added.
