(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – The Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Saliu Adetunji, has opened up concerning the tension in Oyo State.

The monarch who spoke on Saturday at a Church service in Ibadan urged both farmers and herders to live in peace.

He was represented by Mogaji Okiti-Aresa, Chief Adeshina Olatunji.

According to him, blaming a particular ethnic group for insecurity in the country would only heightened the seed of disunity in the country and should not be encouraged.

The monarch called on Nigerians to support the security agencies in the country and he urged Nigerians from taking laws into their hands.

Olubadan counselled religious leaders and traditional leaders to help the government by always preaching unity in their domains.

“As leaders, it does not mean we are above God, traditional rulers, religious leaders should know that they are not God and we must lead our people in a Godly manner.” he said.
