Addressing a group of women named “Obinrin Oodua” at his palace in Ile-Ife, Osun State, Oba Ogunwusi also assured them that the insecurity, the political and the socio-economic crises in the country would soon be over.

The co-chairman, National Council of Traditional Rulers of Nigeria reminded the people that there was no time Yorubaland disintegrated but always remained a rallying point in the country.

Oba Ogunwusi, who appreciated the women for standing firm for Yoruba race as mothers, later prayed for them with traditional items including honey, salt, water, kolanuts and bitterkola.

Earlier, the leader of the group, Yeye Simisade Onayemi disclosed that Ifa oracle recently revealed that there could be war in Yorubaland if the insecurity across the southwest region was not nipped in the bud.
