Obasanjo prostrates for Ooni, urges support for his unity moves (+photo)

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Friday visited the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, at his palace in Ile-Ife, Osun State.
Obasanjo, who was accompanied to the palace by some of his close associates, including Otunba Oyewole Fasawe and Dr. Femi Okunnu, prostrated for Oba Ogunwusi as tradition demands.
Obasanjo praised the Ooni for moving to quickly unite all Yoruba Obas and people, arguing that other monarchs should support Ogunwusi in the task.
He said: “I commend the role of Ooni in ensuring peace in Yorubaland.
“Continue what you are doing, especially your unity cause.
“I am happy with the moves so far.
“It is only a sign of honour for the Ooni to visit anyone.
“That does not deny Ile-Ife of its position in the history of Yorubaland.”
Oba Ogunwusi thanked Obasanjo for finding time to pay him the visit.
