The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, has said that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has asked Nigerians dissatisfied with his government to consider voting him out of office in the 2027 presidential election.
According to the monarch, President Tinubu announced this on Thursday during an emergency meeting with Traditional Rulers chaired by the Sultan of Sokoto, His Eminence, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, ahead of approaching hardship demonstrations scheduled for August 1-10, 2024.
The Ooni of Ife stated that Tinubu appealed for discussion while emphasizing his determination to ease the country’s economic woes.
“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.
