governors to end the insecurity in c the south west was very possible, adding that he believed strongly in the ability of Adams to stamp out insecurity in Yoruba land.

"As the Jagunmolu Aareonakakanfo of Yorubaland,it is my responsibility to lend my voice on issues that had been generating alot of concern across Nigeria and the south west region in particular.
"And in doing that I think we should support Iba Gani Adams,who is the traditional Chief Security Officer in the entire Yoruba land to save the region from the hands of killers.
