Ooni of Ife, His Imperial Majesty
Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi Ojaja II
and Emir of Kano,
His Royal Highness Sanusi Muhammadu Sanusi. |
The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi Ojaja II on Wednesday played host to the Emir of Kano, His Royal Highness Sanusi Muhammadu Sanusi II in his palace in Ile-Ife over the recent clash between the Hausa and Yoruba communities in the ancient town.
The Emir accompanied by senior members of Kano Emirate Council said he was in Ile-Ife to formally congratulate Ooni on His ascension to the throne of his forefathers and to appreciate him for his fatherly role sequel to the recent Hausa/Fulani crisis in Ile-Ife.
“I was here as a prince a couple of years ago in company of my late father Emir Ado Bayero during the 30th coronation anniversary of the late Ooni Okunade Sijuwade, Olubuse II. As a prince, I had always felt welcome in this palace and today, on arriving here, I have received the same welcome as a member of this royal family.
He equally commended the governor of the State of Osun Ogbeni Rauf Adesoji Aregbesola for setting up a high powered commission of enquiry to look into the matter and immediate cause of the incident and to recommend appropriately so as to avoid future re-occurrence and to ensure that justice is done. He said “Our relationship in the country is such that safety in one place is safety everywhere.
