OONI OF IFE MEETS WITH VICE-PRESIDENT OSINBAJO AFTER MEETING WITH PRESIDENT BUHARI YESTERDAY

Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo held a close door meeting with the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi on Friday.

The meeting lasted for about forty-five minutes at the Vice President’s office in the State House.

Ooni was without his entourage and on arrival he went straight to the Vice President’s office and did not speak to State House correspondents that had waited to know the agenda of the meeting.

Recall that he paid similar visit to President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday.

While fielding questions from State House correspondents after meeting with President Buhari, he said that he was at the Villa over rising insecurity in the South West region of the country.

The First class monarch was quick to say that the Yorubas don’t want war but they needed reinforcement from the security apparatus in the bid to defend themselves.

He had also said that their forest had been infiltrated by wrong elements and that there was need for more Federal might in the area in order to flush out the trouble makers and sustain peace.
