The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, assured President Bola Tinubu of the unwavering support of traditional rulers in the country.
The Ooni said this during Ramadan Iftar with traditional rulers and religious leaders at the State House on Thursday in Abuja.
Ogunwusi commended the government’s efforts to address the hike in food prices and the security challenges.
‘’You are not alone, Mr. President. The prices of food items and goods are gradually coming down,” he said.
“You are doing your best on security, and we cannot allow you to do it alone. We will join hands to support your vision to the betterment of our nation,’’ the Ooni said.
Also speaking, Vice-President Kashim Shettima emphasised the roles of religious and traditional rulers in promoting peace and unity, urging them to continue to build bridges that transcend ethnic and religious divides.
Shettima expressed delight that the nation’s economy is on a rebound, noting the strengthening of the naira against the dollar.
‘’The President means well for the nation, and he has continued to redefine the meaning and concept of modern leadership,” he said.
