Chairman House committee
on information and National orientation Hon Segun Dokun Odebunmi has commended
Oba Adeyeye Eniitan Ogunwusi Ojaja 11 ,the Ooni of Ife his peace
agenda and bold move towards enhancing the unity and advancement
of Yoruba race
Hon Odebunmi, who
represent Surulere Ogo Oluwa Federal constituency at the National Assembly in a
statement said such move will further strengthen Yoruba as a race that will not
only speak with one voice but set phase for other tribes and stand as a determining
factor for development in this nation.
“Yoruba race has been in
the front burner in the annals of history of development in Nigeria but the
problem of unity which has bedeviled the race is a major factor that is causing
serious setback for the race and I am optimistic that with the move by the
Ooni, we will move to the next level”.
“ Oba Adeyeye
visits to the prominent Yoruba traditional rulers in the region
is highly commendable , it is a signal that the eledumare has answer our
prayer and that is why he gave us a young , committed and energetic
monarch as the Arole of Oduduwa “
“While calling for
cooperation with the Ooni and other leaders who are making move to develop and
promote Yoruba culture and tradition, Hon Odebunmi said Yoruba said “our
custodians of culture and tradition should not relent in enlightening and
passing unto the younger generation the customs and tradition of Yorubaland ,
we should be conscious of our race , our languages and tradition, they must not
fade away”.
The overbearing
influence of western culture is of concern and we should not allow our own
tribe to be affected nor taking over by the foreign culture and languages
its dominance will affects developmental ideas , reasonability and progress
, so therefore we should make effort to promote and teach the younger ones
He however
appealed to Ooni not to limit his effort to the development of Yoruba
race alone but also extend it to other regions of the country in a bid to
enhance national unity and development .
