Aare Onakakanfo spoke in Akure, Ondo state capital at the 5th edition of the Oodua Progressive Union(OPU) World Congress.
The Purpose of the congress according to him, was about the future of the Yoruba race, through building a formidable economic blueprint and findings our voices wherever we are across the globe.
“Our aims and objective is to promote our cultural identities and foster unity among the Yoruba race”, he added.
Adams said he believed that the congress would go a long way, saying that there was hope for the Yoruba race.
He however urged Yorubas not to relent in joining hands together with progressives to move Nigeria forward.
“On several occasions, I never hide my feelings challenging all our governors, especially in the southwest to develop the tourist potentials of their various states. Many of you that stay in abroad can testify to this, you know how much you spend on visits to tourist and recreation sites.
“It may interests you to note that we have several tourists centres that are good enough to be turned to money spinning ventures for Nigeria as a country”.
Similarly, the Deji of Akure, Oba Aladetoyinbo Aladelusi appealed to Ooni of Ife, Oba Eniitan Ogunwusi and Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi to work together for the unity of traditional rulers in Yoruba land saying that without unity, Yoruba race could not move forward.
