How I Allowed Pastor Adeboye To Sit On My Royal Chair –Monarch
The Olugbon of Orile-Igbon in Oyo State, Oba Francis Alao, has explained why the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, sat on one of his palace chairs.
This happened during a recent occasion at his kingdom.
The monarch was reacting to a viral photo on social media showing Pastor Adeboye sitting on the royal chair which some people condemned.
“The royal chairs are provided in palaces to honour high-ranking dignitaries, not to desecrate the throne. “As a mark of honour, I offered one of the ceremonial royal chairs that are usually reserved for top dignitaries to Pastor Adeboye to be used at the programme.
I, therefore, seek the understanding of all those expressing concern about the issue. There is a traditional royal chair that is meant for only the Kabiyesi, and there are traditional ceremonial chairs for very important persons. The throne of the ancient town of Orile-Igbon remains sacrosanct”, the monarch said.
