The former president, alongside a delegation, was on a courtesy visit to the monarch at his palace in Ota in Ogun State.
This comes weeks after the former President commanded Oyo monarchs to stand at the inauguration of the 34.85km Oyo-Iseyin road in Oyo State today has surfaced on social media.
Obasanjo, who was hosted by the Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, at the opening of internal roads in Iseyin, made commanding gestures, whilst calling on the traditional rulers to stand, which they obliged.

The former president further described democracy built on unemployment as a failure.
He further urged leaders to embrace a form of democracy that promotes prosperity rather than one that inflicts suffering on the people.
