The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye
Ogunwusi on Thursday met with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Aso
Presidential Villa.
Speaking with State House
correspondents at the end of the meeting, the monarch noted that the drum of
war is sounding loud across the country.
The royal father however said
that the South-West region does not want to experience any other war.
He said: “I came to speak on
behalf of other traditional rulers. The issue at hand in the south west is
real. The issue of insecurity, we that live in the remote and rural areas of
the south western part of the country, most of the bushes are occupied by
strange people and we decided to work with the government to fish them out.
“Everybody is beating the drum of
war, we don’t want war, who can stand war, we want something better for our
youths.
“We should better use them for
something good other than shouting war and anarchy. We don’t want that.
“We told the President that and
he is on the same page with us. Politicians should be careful not to throw
things out of proportion.
“We should make sure things are
right and the President has given good directives to security chiefs including
the IG to visit all traditional institutions in the south west.
“We shouldn’t keep over hyping
war and we still want to keep the peace in the south west. We don’t want
anarchy,” the Ooni said.
