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.
