The Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has told Nigerians to vote out
their president, if they are not happy with his administration and
retain him if they are pleased with him.
He stated this in an interview aired on The Osasu Show.
The monarch said that the electorates have not realized the power they have and urged them to be organized.
When asked what government must do to better the lot of the Nigerian
youth, the Ooni replied: “Why must it be government, government? Who is
government? It is the people that are behind the government.
“If you are not happy with your president, you go for another
election, and you will vote your president out. If you are happy with
your president, you will continue with that government for them to be in
power.
“Truth be told, we Nigerians don’t know our power yet. We don’t know
our voting power, yet. Until we know it, we won’t stop complaining,
especially the youth. Once we know it, we won’t complain again.
“My school of thought is let us, first of all, organise ourselves and
let us talk positively about this country. Let us stop derogatory, hate
speeches. Things that will continue to divide everybody further.”
