The Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi has urged traditional rulers in the country to promote unity stating that Obas are nothing, according to Daily Trust.
Oba Ogunwusi said this on Thursday when he visited Ekiti for the first time since ascending the throne.
He was accompanied by Orangun of Ila, Oba Wahab Oyedotun and other traditional rulers in Ife land.
The Ooni said, “I thank God for the opportunity to come here today; we Obas are nothing before the Almighty God because God is the King of kings and the Lord of lords.
“It is God who installs kings, he is the King today, tomorrow and forever. I am so happy to have the Orangun to my right and the Alara to my right and we are all going to see the Ajero together.
“Unity has come to Yoruba land, there is nothing like unity. It is my prayer that our youths will be gainfully employed, the barren will be fruitful and when there is unity, there will be development, and things will go well.
“The new era in Yoruba land will bring good things to us, we want our youths to be empowered, businessmen and businesswomen to be prosperous in their businesses. Peace will reign in Aramoko, peace will reign in Ekiti, peace will reign in Yoruba land.”
