Lere Olayinka, a former media aide to an ex-governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, has criticised the Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, for allowing a traditional ruler to squat before him in a public place.

The Olu of Itori, Oba Fatai Akamo, was captured in a video squatting to speak with the Governor at a public event in Lagos.

Oba Akamo is in Ewekoro Local Government Area of Ogun State.

In the video, the monarch was filmed squatting to speak to the governor before another elderly man intervened.

Olayinka, who deemed the act as disrespectful, expressed his disapproval on his social media page, writing, "Kábíyèsí, Orí Adé, Ọrùn Ìlẹ̀kẹ̀, kneeling to talk to the Imperial Majesty, Prince Dapo Abiodun, the Governor of Ogun State.

"The shame is not on this Ọba though, it is on the governor, who himself is a prince.
