Yorubas in Kwara state have begged the Aare Ona kakanfo of Yoruba land, Dr Gani Adams to carry them along in his mission for the unity and cultural drive of the race.
The Olupo of Ajase Ipo, Oba Sikiru Atanda Sanni and The Eleese of Igbaja, Oba Alhaji Hammed Awunni Babalola made the plea during a thank you visit to their palaces by the Aare Ona Kakanfo designate.
“We are Yorubas, don’t throw us away and we want to be carried along in the drive to unify the yoruba race and the promotion of its culture.”
Dr Gani Adams recently urged traditional rulers to promote their native religion with zeal.
Warning against the danger of neglecting their primary responsibility of custodians of culture and tradition, Adams said “there are dare consequences for the neglect of our native tradition “.
“Let us do Christianity and Islam as well as our traditional religion moderately without allowing one to affect the other.
“You should celebrate the relevant festivals in your communities as this will pave the way for your progress and that of your town.
“Marking these festivals does not prevent you from playing your roles in your churches and mosques and even the traditional religion i am pleading with you to promote should be done with moderation” he pleaded.
