The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi Ojaja II has pledged the continuous support of traditional rulers in the country for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration.
The Ooni stated this on Thursday at the Ramadan Iftar hosted by President Tinubu at the State House in Abuja.
Speaking on behalf of other traditional rulers, Ooni Ogunwusi who doubles as the Co-chairman of the National Council of Traditional Rulers of Nigeria, NCTRN, noted that the prices of goods are crashing gradually and that President Tinubu is doing his best to tackle insecurity in the country.
"You are doing your best on security, and we cannot allow you to do it alone. We will join hands to support your vision for the betterment of our nation.
“You are not alone, Mr President. The prices of food items and goods are gradually coming down,” the Ooni said
President Tinubu called on the leaders to forge a strong bond with the government to defeat terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, and other forms of criminality in the country.
He urged clerics to refrain from vilifying or denigrating the nation in their sermons.
"The love of the nation is in your hands. Pray for our country. Educate our children. The sermons we preach to the members of our churches and mosques are important.
"Do not condemn your own nation. As a Yoruba man and as our fathers will say, ‘no matter how slippery the bottom of your child is, you must leave the beads there.", the president said.
