Perhaps unknown to many, there is a difference between being rich and being royally wealthy. That much can be deduced from the life of the Olugbo of Ugbo Kingdom and Chairman of Obat Oil, Oba Fredrick Akinruntan. And those who were privileged see the royal father in his full royal regalia during a meeting some traditional rulers had with President Goodluck Jonathan at the Presidential Villa recently would attest to this fact.
The monarchs were led to the meeting by the paramount ruler of Mgbirichi/Abakuru land, Eze Akunueze Ahurunkwe II. And as it is customary in the Villa, members of the delegation were driven into the forecourt of the President’s office in a Coaster bus. But on this particular day, there was a slight bent to protocol. Trailing the bus was a red state-of-the-art Bentley 2014 model with customised number plate ‘OLUGBO’.
So, while the other traditional rulers on the delegation collectively rode in the Coaster bus, Oba Akinruntan followed in his wonder-on-wheels. Of course, he got the needed attention as he made his way out of the car after it was strategically parked in front of the Council Chambers while the meeting lasted.
The cameras clicked away at the car, with some people posing with it for photographs.
