YORUBAS ARE TALENTED AND UNITED PEOPLE, WE SHOULD SAY NO TO DISUNITY-OONI OF IFE
His Imperial Majesty, the Ooni of Ife, Ooni Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has described the Yorubas as `talented and united’ people and urged traditional rulers in Yorubaland not to allow supremacy battle bring disunity among them.
Ooni Ogunwusi gave the advice on Tuesday in Ile-Ile Ife when the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Saliu Adetunji and his chiefs visited his palace. He said that enmity caused disunity could hinder progress of any society.
Ooni Ogunwusi reiterated that God is the creator and leader of the people while Obas were only elected to rule over them. The Ooni prayed for God’s guidance and protection in the South-West region and in Nigeria in general.
The highly respected royal father said he was happy and grateful that the Olubadan made history by visiting him on the last day of the celebration of Olojo festival. Ooni Ogunwusi thanked the Olubadan for propagating unity and love among the Yoruba race.
In his remarks, the Olubadan, who declared that Ile Ife was the origin of the Yoruba race, said he was pleased to visit the town where Yorubas originated from. He said he visited Ife to thank Ooni Ogunwusi for coming to Ibadan during his coronation on March 4.
Oba Adetunji felicitated with Ooni Ogunwusi on his birthday and celebration of Olojo festival.
