The Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Babatunde Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, has once again replied critics following the massive backlash he got some week ago after saying Jesus is his father.

The Ooni who was pictured in his white traditional ceremonial dress took to his social media page to clear the air on traditional worship.

In a new post released on Instagram, the Ooni noted that people tagged as idol worshippers are expressing their love, adoration and respect to the Almighty God.

He wrote: We are tagged as idol worshippers, but truth be told we are not idol worshippers.

“Our traditions give all the glory, adoration and honor to the almighty God which we know as Olodumare. #OoniofIfe”
