“Our traditional institution is sacred and we won’t allow anybody to tarnish the image, even as we urge all Yoruba Obas in their respective states to condemn the abominable act.

‘’The word restructuring simply means re-organization, not disintegration, our position on this is clear and that is Nigeria cannot afford to isolate itself from the rest of the world. For years, patriotic Nigerians have been agitating for restructuring, but a few elements in the country are against it.”
