Famous Yoruba monarch, Oba Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi, the Oluwo of Iwoland has gone on his bended knees to beg Yoruba leaders and politicians to forget their political differences and support the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The Oluwo made the appeal in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Alli Ibraheem.
He said; “I call on Yoruba leaders, stakeholders and politicians to write a new history of hope, brighter future and positive promises by forgiving each other.”
“Without forgiveness, relationships will not give birth to promising children. I’m making this appeal with my crown to endure, entertain each other’s differences and cut the political curse on the Yorubas.”
“The late sage, Obafemi Awolowo tried. Then the late business tycoon, Moshood Kasimawo Abiola made a trial and won democracy for us.”
“The same mistake must not be repeated. This is not about political parties. It is natural to offend each other but divine to forgive.”
“The chance of one of us becoming the President of Nigeria is bright and promising. He might have offended you just as you also might have offended someone.”
“Let’s heal the wound of enemity to move on and faster. This is the last chance if we want our children to forgive us.”
