The Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuwade,
on Saturday, demanded a total representation of the South-West in the
cabinet of President Goodluck Jonathan and the creation of the Oduduwa
State with its headquarters in Ile Ife.
The monarch made the requests among
others when Jonathan led notable chieftains of the Peoples Democratic
Party, including the National Chairman of the party, Adamu Muazu, on a
visit to his palace in Ile Ife, Osun State.
About 50 other traditional rulers from
Osun State and environs were present to receive the president. This is
the second time Jonathan would be visiting the palace to solicit the
support of the royal fathers and the people of the state to ensure
victory in the March 28 presidential election.
The Ooni delegated the Orangun of Oke
Ila, Oba Adedokun Abolarin, to speak on his behalf. He said, “ We want
total representation. There are ongoing projects in Osun State and we
know there is paucity of fund but we want you to finish all the
projects.”
