The Ooni made this heartfelt appeal during his visit to his ancestral home as part of the annual Olojo Festival celebrations in the Oketase region of Ile-Ife on Monday.
Recognizing that Nigeria is currently grappling with a challenging period affecting all aspects of life, the monarch reassured the nation that this trying phase will ultimately pass.

The esteemed leader encouraged all citizens to persevere and offer their support to the nation’s leadership, underscoring the necessity of collective effort in achieving significant progress.
