Ekiti Governorship Election: Ooni Of Ife Is Sad Over Political Tension by dammy13(m): 7:33am On Jul 13, 2018
The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has expressed sadness over the current tension in the political atmosphere in Ekiti state.

The monarch said he is unhappy with what is happening in Ekiti State ahead of the governorship election and urges youths to shun violence.

“What I heard happening in Ekiti State during this electioneering period does not make me happy as their father. Enough of the crisis; we do not want any crisis in Yorubaland," Ooni said.

In a statement on Thursday, July 12, 2018 by the Directorate of Media and Public Affairs of Ooni’s Palace, Oba Ogunwusi » explained why he's unhappy with the increased tension in Ekiti's political atmosphere.

He said: "Where there is violence, progress and tranquillity will be deprived, but where there is peace, there is progress.

“I specifically warn all youths in Ekiti State to maintain peaceful coexistence before, during and after the election, as brighter future awaits them if they productively discover themselves.

“Youths must refuse to be used for political violence that waste lives because they too can become governor or President of the country in the nearest future.”

The Ooni, who is the Co-Chairman of the National Council of Traditional Rulers of Nigeria, said political violence could reverse all the gains of development while calling on the people of the state to be peaceful before, during and after the election.

This Ooni still have his head stuck into the sands like an ostrich.

For Pete's sake the state has been invaded by federal forces and the governor humiliated and slapped around a few times yet you are telling the youths to be law abiding? No mention of the aggressors?

Na the youths disrupt the rally ? Na the youths dey lay siege on the state?

Ooni, wake up.

"We do not want any crisis in Yorubaland. We want to live in peace. We want to live in peaceful coexistence, especially our youth. We have been hearing of the uproar happening in Ekiti right now. Anything that happens in Ekiti will definately affect the rest of the south western state of this country..."

- Listen to Ooni of Ife's call for peaceful election in Ekiti.

That is a golden voice from the progenitor of yoruba race...

This is not 2014 or whatever like the zombies have been salivating about....You can only be rigged(there was no rigging in 2014 to even start with) and peacefully govern if the people truly wants you!

But in a situation where you are despised by the same people you want to govern and you still want to become a governor forcefully....Then be ready to pay with your life!!

Our Vote must and will surely count here in Ekiti

Anybody planning to rig election here in Ekiti be it Fayose, Buhari, Fayemi, Akeredolu, Amosu, yeye Bello, the randy IGP;will be put to sudden and painful death by the gods of our land and our ancestors!!


Be warned!!

angry Me I'm sad and angry over the Unlawful arrest of Adebayo Tosin Daniel By the Operatives of NDLEA abeokuta ogun state

The Bad part of all of this is, him remaining in their custody and missing his school work which will lead to an extra year or the worst which is court sentence. Please help in whatever means necessary
