By The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, has asked members of the Oodua People’s Congress (OPC) to respect the law of the land.
The monarch, while receiving members of the OPC, led by its President, Prince Osibote in his palace, admonished the group against taking the laws into their hands.
“Do not involve yourself in extrajudicial practices that could create more problems than we are trying to solve,’’ he said.
According to Oba Adeyeye, the association is a great promoter of Yoruba tradition, ethics and principles, adding that the OPC should be a rallying point for the Yoruba nation.
He said: “For the sake of the sweet memories of your late founder, Frederick Fasehun, I am appealing to all of you to have a rallying point so that you can be united.
“You can have several leaders all over, what I am appealing for is unity of purpose and common interest toward developing the Yoruba nation.
“If you know the meaning of the name ‘Oduduwa’, you would place it high above all forms of selfish interests.
“I urge you all to be conscious of your words and actions, because the people out there are watching.”
