The monarch said he vis­ited Saraki in deference to Saraki’s Office as the Sen­ate President and to “give honour to whom honour is due.”
He said his present ex­alted office as the Ooni of Ife would not make him forget his primary constituency who are the youths of this country. He said the visit was memorable to him and Nigerian youths.
He said he was in the house of the Senate Presi­dent with the message of unity and peaceful coexis­tence among all Nigerians irrespective of region, tribe or religion.
Oba Ogunwusi said: “Today is actually another memorable day for me and entire youths of this country. For every leadership, there is always a followership. A leader cannot emerge with­out followers. As a result we have to give honour to whom honour is due. ”It is a great honour today that I am here to come and respect the office of our amiable Senate Presi­dent because the entire coun­try is obviously looking up to our leaders. I am here today to preach peace and unity of our dear country.”
In his address, Saraki said he was highly honoured by the visit of the royal father and prayed God to grant him long life, wisdom and a suc­cessful reign.
He described the Ooni as a “man of our generation” and said he will continue to sup­port the monarch in what­ever way possible to succeed in his present assignment as a royal father.
