Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has told popular Yoruba rights activist, Sunday Adeyemo, well known as Sunday Igboho, to watch out for politicians seeking to hijack his agitations against killer herdsmen in the South West.<\/p>\n
He advised him not to take laws into his hands but allow constituted authorities handle the herdsmen menace.<\/p>\n
The Ooni praised Igboho for taking on the campaign against herdsmen, saying he has done very well.<\/p>\n
Speaking on Arise TV in an interview, the monarch said: \u201cLet us be very objective. He (Igboho) is being a mouthpiece for the downtrodden. He came up and everybody is listening now but my advice to him as a traditional ruler is that he needs to be very careful so that the politicians won\u2019t hijack the whole motive from him.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has done well, and we\u2019ve already praised him, but he shouldn\u2019t take laws into his hands. We have the governor there; he is the chief security officer of the state and Mr.r President has invited him (Makinde). Let the right people that are being authorized to do what is right do it.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe (Igboho) has done well, and the world has heard him but everything should be done in moderation.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cWe know that the bandits are everywhere. He shouldn\u2019t take laws into his hands. We have laws in this country, and we should follow it. Let the right people chosen do and follow what they are supposed to do.<\/p>\n
\u201cTraditional rulers have a role to play. We should be very neutral and so far so good, we have been trying to be neutral. Whatever this government is doing, we always stand up to try and see how to support them.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is not as if we will now go out to criticize them. We are not politicians, we are traditional rulers; we should be respected, we should be neutral, and we should accommodate all and sundry,\u201d the monarch added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
