This time, it’s not about her fight with another controversial blogger, Esabod.
No. This time, Abike Jagaban, who was alleged to be intimately close to the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, was seen at a social gathering in Lagos where she was escorted with the Ooni of Ife’s staff of office.
It was actually her grandmother’s burial and a reception held after at an event centre.
Immediately Abike, who is the Yeye Bewaji of Itoriland sauntered in, a palace guard with the staff of office was seen following her everywhere.
Well, this could have slipped without mention from some guests but lately, the staff of office of the Ooni of Ife has been present at five weddings of his queens without the monarch’s presence.
But the beautiful blogger seems not bothered and went about the party with the staff of office carried by an escort.
“The staff of office of the king represents him and could be at anyone’s party as long as it’s the king’s emissary carrying it. It’s a mark of honour and Abike is no stranger to the palace. If the king or anyone from Ile Ife couldn’t attend the party physically, the staff of office would honour the invite. Nobody should place any unusual meaning to the staff of office at Abike Jagaban’s party,” palace sources revealed to Kemi Ashefon.
