2027 Polls: Ooni of Ife Reveals Tinubu’s Message to Traditional Rulers
The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, has disclosed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu urged Nigerians dissatisfied with his administration to consider voting him out in the 2027 presidential election.
According to the monarch, President Tinubu made this statement on Thursday during an emergency meeting with traditional rulers led by the Sultan of Sokoto, His Eminence, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, in response to the looming hardship protests planned for August 1-10, 2024.
Ooni of Ife noted that Tinubu called for dialogue while reiterating his resolve to end the country’s economic hardship.
“The President has said, ‘Any leader that you don’t like, wait (until 2027) and vote him out.’ He is open to dialogue. We know that Nigeria faces many challenges. But are we going to destroy our nation by ourselves? Is that what we are all after?
“It is very difficult to build, but it is the easiest to destroy. We are all stakeholders in this country and are stronger as a nation than individually,” the Ooni of Ife said.
