Here are some reactions as collated from the Kemi Filani News facebook page:

One Odunayo Dada wrote ” Kabiyesi please stay at home , your going around is too much “
While one Sunny Ali wrote “I bet the Oba has attended more functions than spend time attending to issues at his palace. Smh, Ajala the taraveller”
