Ijebu Monarch counsels politicians

Ijebu-Ode— Awujale and paramount ruler of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Adetona, has urged politicians to desist from acts capable of undermining the growth and development of the nation.

Oba Adetona gave the advice during his Eld-el-Fitri message at Ijebu-Ode praying ground yesterday.

The Awujale said politicians should not see their offices as avenue for self-enrichment but should rather engage in the development of their communities.

Adetona urged politicians to remember the promises made during their electioneering, adding that the electorate would hold them accountable if they failed to deliver.

“If the politicians fail to fulfil the promises they made to the electorates during their campaign but rather engage in corrupt acts, we shall meet again after four years“, the monarch declared.

The Awujale, however, urged politicians to put the fear of God in everything they do, stressing that the country could only develop when politicians use the available resources at their disposal judiciously.

Oba Adetona also urged the Federal Government to work towards increased development of communities.
