Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo on Sunday charged traditional rulers to join hands with the state and federal governments to ensure adequate security of lives and property of Nigerians.

Mr Osinbajo gave the charge in Ibadan at a programme organised by a socio-cultural group, Yoruba World Centre, to celebrate Olubadàn of Ibadan, Oba Olalekan Balogun’s first 100 days on the stool.

The vice-president, who was represented by a legal luminary, Niyi Akintola, said the charge became necessary for peace and tranquillity to reign across the country.

He said traditional rulers should also prioritise promotion of culture and tradition, saying this would enhance peaceful coexistence and encourage brotherhood.

Mr Osinbajo charged Yoruba people, whom he described as people of honour and integrity, not to give room to “those who try to destabilise our brotherliness through the display of abnormal acts; that is not who we are.

“We are ‘Omoluabis’ (well-bred); we have respect for culture and tradition; we respect our elders; we cherish and encourage mutual progress for peace and tranquillity in our communities and in the nation.’’

He eulogised Oba Balogun, saying for many decades, Olubadàn had shown to be a leader who deeply cared for the common man, for progress and for the development of the nation.

He charged Oba Balogun, as custodian of the ancient culture and traditions of Ibadan, to continue to embody the best value that the people of Ibadan hold.

In his remarks, chairman of the occasion, Senator Rashidi Ladoja, the Otun Olubadàn of Ibadan, commended organisers of the event for promoting Yoruba culture.

Mr Ladoja, who was Sarafadeen Ali, congratulated Mr Balogun on his 100 days as Olubadàn of Ibadan.

He said the event further demonstrated that there is harmony and unity among the Yoruba.

He prayed that traditional ruler would live long on the throne to witness reigning years.

Earlier, one of the organisers, Adebayo Alao, publisher of Alaroye Newspaper, said the event was put together to showcase the rich culture of Yoruba people and also to celebrate the king on his 100 days on the stool.

Mr Alao said the promotion of Yoruba culture and tradition was capable of creating job opportunities for Yoruba sons and daughters.

Mr Balogun, in his remarks, appreciated the Yoruba World Centre and well-wishers that attended the programme in his honour.

He pledged to support all activities towards the promotion of Yoruba culture and tradition.

The highlights of the occasion were different cultural performances such as Bata sequences, Esa Eegun and Oriki.

Among dignitaries in attendance were Oba Adedokun Bolarinwa, Orangun of Oke-Ila and representative of Oba Adeyeye Eniitan, the Ooni of Ife.

State/ community policing is the answer to our insecurity and other social vices and this is what Osinbajo has been advocating.

This one don found his voice. Osinbajo should summon courage and support Peter Obi if he truly loves Nigeria

Evidence of where he said he has only one million naira and who do you want Osinbajo to support?

The traditional rulers are closers to their people and it will help them If they can work with security agents to solve the insecurity of land and with the help of federal and state government

Which evidence? I don't read fake news dear. Try harder to convince me. This one is stale already

State and community policing is the way to go

Nigerian police needs funding

Dubai police are people born from different countries with different backgrounds and religion, yet well trained, well equipped and we'll payed. They work 100% better than having indegenes police them

Traditional Rulers play an important role in their immediate environment. Their influence can help the State and federal government.
