The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi-Ojaja II, made headlines with a powerful speech delivered at a recently concluded EFCC seminar on the fight against corruption, youth, and religion. The video of the Ooni’s speech has gone viral, showcasing his candid remarks.
During his address, the Ooni boldly challenged the politicians present, asking if any of them could spend a peaceful week in their respective areas of constituency or local government. He made it clear that his query extended to both the speaker of the house of representatives and the gatekeepers.
The Ooni emphasized that a nation cannot thrive if only district heads and traditional rulers are aware of the challenges faced by Nigerian youth. He called out politicians for neglecting the citizens while occupying opulent offices, stating that the country’s well-being is compromised when those in power are disconnected from the realities on the ground.
The Ooni’s speech resonates as a call for accountability and a reminder to political leaders about the importance of understanding and addressing the issues faced by the youth and the general population. The video has sparked discussions and garnered attention on social media, reflecting the significance of the Ooni’s message in the ongoing fight against corruption and the quest for a better future for Nigerian youth.
