The Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi, has said that he’s one of those privileged to bear the same name with God Almighty.

The monarch said this in the caption of an Instagram video which shows his subjects expressing excitement as he drove out to town.

The video shows that he’s still loved by his people despite a petition written by some of them to the Osun State Government demanding his dethronement.

He captioned the video: “On a visit to one of the suburbs… in the city, town and villages the love and respect for God through me is enormous and can’t be measured !! All glory and praise to God in the Highest cos I’m one of the privileged people on earth that answers the same name with God Almighty cos people greet me as “KABIYESI O” and they also call me Oba or King in English…all these are the names of God Almighty! 
Alase Lori Orisa #1 the first of it’s kind in Yorubaland and the whole wide world.”
