The Araba of Ibadanland and Oluisese of Oyo State, Chief Ifálérè Odegbemi Odegbola II has urged the President, Bola Tinubu, Seyi Makinde and other elected political office holders in the country to rule with fear of Olodumare.
Araba stated this while speaking with journalists at this year’s annual Ifa and Orisa festival organised by Odegbola Traditional Global Services, Ibadan.
The Araba of Ibadanland stated that that new president, governors and other elected political office holders should rule with fear of Olodumare and always have the interests of the masses at heart.
“It is only when our elected political office holders rule or manage the affairs of country, states or even local government areas with fear of Olodumare and humanity that they can also personally prosper in their own personal endeavours.
Speaking further, Araba also called on Isese religion worshippers to allow their children acquire western education.
According to him, worshippers of other religions in the country are making the best use of western education and that Isese religion worshippers should also allow their children to acquire it in order to compete favourable with others in the country.
Also responding to a question on the significance of the annual Ifa and Orisa festival, Araba of Ibadanland said that the annual festival is for prayer for the country, Oyo state and Ibadan.
“The annual Ifa and Orisa festival is also to offer prayers for the peace of the land and also to our members and the general public. We also made offering to Osun, Ogun, Egungun, Ifa and also carried out Ifa consultation /reading.”
