The Palace of the Oluwo of Iwo has denied the viral letter authored by his Personal Assistant seeking the assistance of the Osun State Governor Gboyega Oyetola to raise the sum of N20 million, to help him marry a Princess of the Kano Emirate council.
A press statement from his press secretary Ibraheem Alli described the letter as fake, as it did not emanate from the Palace of the Oluwo.
The statement said: “We read with total dismay a letter purportedly said to emanate from the palace of Oluwo of Iwoland seeking financial assistance on his personal affairs, wedding
While we commend the enlightened public for their sense of fair judgement, we want to categorically state it that the letter is fake and did not emanate from the palace of Oluwo.
The said letter lacks basic in-house styles of Oluwo’s palace correspondence. Oluwo always append his personal signature while writing the government. Equally, the font in the letter is not our official style. At the said date on the letter, Oluwo was not in the state up till now. And his secretary has no audacity, whatsoever to sign on behalf of His Majesty while communicating with the government.
The letter was orchestrated by mischievous people whose mission is to discredit the palace. Marriage is a personal affairs. There is no marriage venture too big for Oluwo to finance on his own. Those circulating such should exercise caution. Queen is coming but not in haste of the public demand.
We enjoin reasonable individual to get their facts before jumping on the bandwagon.
