Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, the Ooni of Ife, has urged all Nigerians, irrespective of party affiliations, to support the government of Bola Tinubu, the president-elect.

The monarch addressed supporters of Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and Peter Obi, the candidate of the Labour Party (LP), while speaking in Lagos.

He was hosting a delegation sent by William Ruto, the president of Kenya, at his Lagos residence.

Present at the event were Francis Koskie, Kenya’s chief of staff; Aliko Dangote, chairman of Dangote Group; Harry Ebohen, CEO of Propetrol; Dapo Abiodun, Governor of Ogun state; and Kunmi Demuren, a fintech executive.

The delegation met with Tinubu for a discussion on how Africa can unite to pursue collective development.

Ooni said it would be best for all Nigerians to be invested in the country’s path forward with Tinubu, regardless of political affiliations.

He said putting Nigeria on the right path to greatness should be a collective effort as the election has come and gone.

“As the presidential inauguration approaches, I beseech you all, young and old, Obidients and Atikulates, hopeful and weary, amiable and passionate, to lay down your arms,” Ooni said.

“There is no reason to waste time looking back; all we have is today and the future. Now is the time to embrace our diversity and uniqueness.

“We may differ in opinions and approaches to achieving a better Nigeria, but we all want a nation we can be proud of. Let us come together to support the vision of Asiwaju Gbogbo Ile Oodua.”

After meeting with the delegation, Tinubu said he was ready to partner with other business leaders in his quest to transform Nigeria’s economy.

He said one of his priorities has been to transition Nigeria from a consuming economy to producing one.

Ttalk:
That is a fatherly advice.

There's no sense in Obi's petition, rather is opens up wound of the role played by some SE politicians in scuttling the election of Abiola.

Imagine the same line of argument is today being put up by the same people with their shameful demand for interim government and military take over, something they didn't say when Buhari won the election in 2015 and 2019 while they were in PDP despite the election being marred with some irregularities.

Is this the part they will toe in future when election is being contested between a SS and SE?

Because it is unheard of for someone who came third in an election to claim he won

Obi need to contest the second position first and can only lay claim to the first position after he had defeated Atiki who came second.

His intention of petitioning Tinubu is well understood by the SW people and history will always be there to reckon with.

SpecialAdviser:

Intelligent? Lol. What is intelligent in you leaving Atiku to attack only Obi? What is also intelligent in asking someone not to challenge a percived injustice? Why bringing emotions and sentiment in JUSTICE? Is like asking someone whose son is killed no to go to court in order not to annoy the killer.

Again I ask, how old are you kid?

Penguin2:
Tell H.orny of Ife to concentrate on taking more wives for his restless rod rather than advising Obi to accept illegality.

Same rubbish Adeboye said.

Is that these guys didn’t see the obvious irregularities in the election or their bigotry has beclouded their sense of reasoning?

SpecialAdviser:
Embrace kii you dia.
Oni husshupupi

Is it not APC that asked them to go to court?
I don't even know why the fear about Obi and Atiku going to court. Why? Allow the law to take it's course nah. After all na APC still select the judges. Haba

SpecialAdviser:


So you accept Atiku won? Okay still a confirmation against the mandate thief.

Feintline:

Papa Adeboye did not say anything like that. That was fake news.

Penguin2:


Hmmm!

You mean Vanguard and other reputable platforms reported fake news?

Has he refuted the report?🤔🧐

Penguin2:

I addressed two individuals, Ooni of Ife and Adeboye.

How did that translate to insult on the Yoruba tribe, mr man?

Ceenaija:
African mentality, allowing evil to continue.That is why we are the most miserable of all continent

Atiku's petition is justified because he came second but not someone who is behind Atiku
