Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi has warned Nigerians to be wary of politicians because they are all the same.
Ooni disclosed this at his Ile-Oodua palace, Ile-Ife,
before heading into seven days of seclusion to commune with the gods ahead of
Olojo Festival.
He said there is no difference among politicians in
the country, adding that they have all cross carpet from one major political
party to another to protect their interests.
In his words he said, “We believe in the forces of nature for nature to conspire in our favor but every other thing in our country they are all man-made, the likes of security, our politicians will take credit for that, they are the ones that caused it till date. I will go again to seclusion for God to touch their heart for them to stop playing all of us like ludo.
“They should be more sensitive about people because it
is one political party. They are just crisscrossing from one political party to
the other in order to retain their positions. We have one political party in
this country, same value, same character, same politician. But I am going to go
into seclusion for God to touch their hearts for them to stop playing games
with the lives of citizens of this country. It is about time for them to
realize that they should serve us genuinely because we can not continue like
this.
“This time around is a serious one, it is a request on behalf of the entire people, Yoruba race and by extension our dear Country Nigeria. I am going for God to touch their heart and really pray to my ancestors. We are just deceiving ourselves that they are different, they are the same. All of them have crossed to the major party but Nigeria is above them all.
“This time around it is a very sensitive one and a
very serious one. First of all to thank God almighty and the spirit of our
ancestors that have been guiding us thus far, God has really helped us with the
pandemic issue because we won’t be able to handle it, when we compare things we
have been doing with other nations. We have every course to be thankful to God.
“They said we are spiritual and it is working for us
in this country, we have course to thank God Almighty, that it is not out of
hands. We shouldn't rest our hoax, I am
going to seclusion which is the 6th. I inherited the tradition from my
ancestors of thousands of years ago.”
