Vote Buhari Out If You Are Not Happy With His Government – Oni of Ife

By Farouk Mohammed

The Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has told Nigerians to vote out President Muhammadu Buhari if they are not happy with his administration come 2019.

Speaking in an interview aired on The Osasu Show, Oba Ogunwusi also said Nigerians should retain the president if they are pleased with his achievements.

When asked what government must do to better the lot of the Nigerian youth, the Ooni said: ”Why must it be government, government? Who is government? It is the people that are behind the government.

”If you are not happy with your president, you go for another election, and you will vote your president out. If you are happy with your president, you will continue with that government for them to be in power.

”Truth be told, we Nigerians don’t know our power yet. We don’t know our voting power, yet. Until we know it, we won’t stop complaining, especially the youth. Once we know it, we won’t complain again.

”My school of thought is let us, first of all, organise ourselves and let us talk positively about this country. Let us stop derogatory, hate speeches. Things that will continue to divide everybody further.”
