The Spiritual Head of Ijo Orunmila Adulawo, Oluwo Ifagbemi Fajobi, has urged Nigerians to embrace love and unity and shun violence, “especially now that God has helped us conclude peacefully, the 2023 general election.”
He spoke at the weekend during the 89th Founder’s Day of the organisation and 20th year anniversary of his stewardship as the head of the religious body.
The event took place at the headquarters and worship centre of the organisation at Ososa in Ogun State.
Fajobi said: “Now that God has helped the country and indeed Nigerians to scale through the hurdle of the election, fuel scarcity and cashless policies, among others, what requires of us is to embrace love, unity and shun violence.”
He stressed the need for the citizens to rise above the challenges of ethnicity and violence that had marred the post-election period.
Fajobi congratulated President-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu and hailed the efforts of other contestants, who played a crucial role in the democratic process.
He called for the empowerment of youths and women through investment in their education and nurturing of their talents.
He appealed to the Federal Government to remember traditional worshippers as far as August 20 special holiday was concerned.
