The monarch of the ancient town of Iwo in Osun State, HRM Oba AbdulRasheed Adewale Akanbi, says he wishes that the sickness, pain and sorrows President Muhammadu Buhari may be experiencing now, become his. Oluwo of Iwo, Oba AbdulRasheed.
He made the declaration recently when royal fathers, clerics and traditionalists converged to hold a prayer session for the ailing President and the state governor, Governor Rauf Aregbesola.

Speaking at the prayer session which was organized him, the Iwo monarch declared President Buhari as his son.
He said, “Buhari is my son and I can never be happy if people should wish him dead. What kind of father will I be if I decide to join the league of Nigerians who want him dead?”
While also declaring his support for Buhari’s second term, Oba Akanbi added: “He must rule for eight years in good health and sound mind. It is painful that those who launched that campaign of ‘Resume or Resign’ are not patriotic as they claimed.
“They politicised the campaign which shouldn’t be. If any civil servant or police officer falls sick, will you advise such persons to resign? Those clamouring for Buhari’s resignation are not sane.”

The Oluwo, however, prayed to bear Buhari’s sickness, saying: “Let Buhari’s sickness, pains, and sorrows, come to me.”
The Iwo monarch said that the well-being of Nigerians was paramount to him, adding that if bearing Buhari’s sickness would guarantee good governance in Nigeria, so be it.
“This prayer is not in anyway political as I would do the same for anyone occupying the seat of power,” the monarch added.
With more than 200 clerics including Christians, Muslims and traditionalists, they all prayed for ailing President Muhammadu Buhari.
