The Yoruba Leaders of Thought (Egbe Ilosiwaju Yoruba) has appealed to the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, and the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Abimbola Owoade, to put an immediate end to the recent misunderstanding between them.
The hostilities between the two traditional rulers reopened last week when the Alaafin faulted Ooni over the decision to confer a title on a businessman, Dotun Sanusi.
The group’s National Leader, Prince Tajudeen Olusi, called on Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, and his Oyo State counterpart, Seyi Makinde, “to initiate an immediate ceasefire between our revered royal fathers and their supporters”.
Olusi spoke in a statement, titled “Time to sheath the sword,” which was made available in Ado Ekiti on Sunday by the National Secretary, Bayo Aina.
