Alaafin
Of Oyo, HRH Oba Lamidi Adeye (Iku Baba Yeye) is undoubtedly one of the
most revered traditional rulers in the Nigeria from southwest.
In a
quote recently credited to the monarch, he vehemently gave an elderly
advice to President Goodluck Jonathan to learn from his predecessor who
have in the past attempted to capture the political power of the
Southwest by force.
The monarch pointed out how his predecessors have
embarked on such herculean task but failed.
“My fatherly advice to those in authority at the federal level
and especially our amiable President, Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, is to
learn from the mistakes of his very illustrious predecessor, Alhaji
Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, by resisting any temptation to take the ‘west by
all means.’”
