Mr. Adewusi told Mr. Adams that the “war he has to wage this time is the war for the unity of Yorubaland which you have been propagating before and you should do more.”

The Ooni said Yorubas are front runners and urged Mr. Adams to ensure the race remain a frontrunner.

“Use your tenure for good, embrace both the natives and strangers among us.

“Rely on God and He will help you,” the Ooni concluded.

He said the unity of the Yoruba race remains paramount to him as he is ready to join the Ooni and the other traditional rulers of Yorubaland in ensuring peace, unity and progress for the race.

Thanking the Ooni for his previous support, he also sought the monarch’s further support to enable him make a success of his new assignment. He also promised to further promote the Yoruba culture.
