The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, on Friday, said that the entire South-West region has thrown its weight behind President Bola Tinubu to address the security challenges facing Nigeria.
The monarch stated this on Friday while responding to questions in an interview on āPolitics Todayā, a programme on Channels Television monitored by DAILY POST.
Oba Ogunwusi, who condemned the politicisation of the current challenges, said that the traditional institution would collaborate with political leaders to make Nigeria better for all.
āGod has brought our leader, the current President, President Bola Tinubu, to lead us. Traditional leaders are not talking about politics; we are talking about how to save our people and our race.
āThat is way beyond politics. So, for us, we have concluded; the entire South-West to pass a vote of confidence on President Bola Tinubu.
āWe need to support him to save Nigeria; itās very important. You condemn this leader, you condemn that leader. So, which one are you going to use eventually?
āAll these politicians have been there from Day One. What have they done? Nigeria is bigger than them. Itās not their personal entitlement. It is not their heritage; it is the heritage of the people living here.
āWhy should they be bringing politics into security matters? Enough of this,ā he added.
The monarch also warned against sinking the nation because of politics, saying that Nigeriaās interest should be paramount.
