The monarch, in a goodwill message signed by his Private Secretary, Toyin Ajamu, condemned propagators of hate campaign in the country, adding that Nigerians regardless of tribal and religious differences are known to be peace loving, law abiding and accommodating.
While urging religious and political leaders to caution their followers and supporters against making inflammatory statements against any tribe, Oba Oyewumi tasked government at all levels to live up to expectations by providing succour to the masses so as to avoid crime, violence and other forms of social unrest.
He said: “We praise Almighty Allah for giving us the grace to witness yet another Eid-el Kabir.
