Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on
Friday visited the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, at his palace to
pay homage to the foremost traditional ruler in Yorubaland.
Obasanjo, who was accompanied to the
palace by Otunba Oyewole Fasawe, Dr. Femi Okunnu and others, prostrated
flat before the Ooni on his arrival at the palace.
Obasanjo, who lauded the moves being
made by the Ooni to unite all Yoruba Obas and people, urged other
monarchs to support Ogunwusi to ensure that all of them were united.
The former President stated that the
unity move by the Ooni was important for the progress of Yorubaland. He
urged Oba Ogunwusi not to relent in his move to ensure unity, stressing
that Ife remained the source of the Yoruba race.
