The Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Lekan Balogun, has urged Yoruba nation agitators not to relent in the struggle until it materializes.
Oba Balogun spoke while hosting the Atayese, a self-determination group led by Tokunbo Ajasin, at his Alarere residence in Ibadan.
The monarch, who acknowledged the challenges besetting the people, noted that the situation could deter the activists.
He said, “Tough times never last, only tough people do. There’s nothing too much to be done to ensure that one’s goal is achieved and I promise you my support for the attainment of your cherished goal.”
Gbenga Awosode, in an address on the occasion, said that the group came to urge the monarch to use his experience to forge unity among the Obas in Yorubaland.
He said, “Kabiyesi, we want unity of purpose among Yoruba Obas and we want you to do your bit in that regard.
“This is the time for our revered fathers to speak with one voice on issues that touch our common interest and with your esteemed pedigree, this is achievable.”
