The Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdurosheed Akanbi on Thursday warned the idol worshippers to stop relating their religion with the culture and tradition of Yoruba if they want him to stop talking about them.
The monarch in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Alli Ibrahim stated that,he remains the custodian of custom and tradition and he must protect it.
“Nobody is saying you should not worship idols, but for a person to say that idol worshipping is a culture of Yoruba, you have me to contend with.

“Nobody can take our culture from us. We are born with it. Christianity is not culture and it is not tradition. Islam is not a culture or tradition. Idol worship is not a culture or tradition. It is a way of worship. Let everybody worship what they want but don’t mix it with the beautiful, great Yoruba culture and tradition.
“I can not tolerate idol worship because of my office. I hate idols with passion. I advise those that are worshipping it to desist,” he concluded.
