Ooni of Ife failed Yoruba by not telling Buhari truth about killer Herdsmen —Sunday Igboho

Popular Yoruba rights activist, Sunday Igboho, has expressed that the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, disappointed the Yoruba people when he visited President Muhammadu Buhari of recent over the herdsmen crisis rocking the South-West region but failed to convey the pain and displeasure of the Yoruba people to the President

Speaking on Wednesday morning at a virtual Townhall with Yoruba In Diaspora, Igboho stated that some politicians were behind the Ooni’s latest move.

He said,

“The monarchs are now afraid but we must keep praying for them to be united with one voice. They should not be afraid of arrest at their age. Some of them don’t even grant audience at their palaces any longer. So, everything is now in God’s hands.

“When Ooni met with Buhari over the herdsmen issue, Ooni should have told Buhari the truth but he did not. When Ooni returned, he started tackling me to leave the remaining task to the government to finish. You can imagine that kind of talk?

“Alaafin of Oyo has asked me to meet him over the matter. Alaafin should have been the one invited to meet Buhari but since the Ooni was invited, he should be bold to tell the President the whole truth and make the demands of the Yoruba people known to the President.

“The Ooni disappointed himself. Some politicians are behind Ooni’s latest move. He invited me to his palace but I refused to go. I would have gone if he had represented us well but he did not. I won’t honour any monarch who does not cooperate with me. Enough is enough, the Fulani have done enough.”
