The Ooni said , “ What I heard happening in Ekiti State during this electioneering period does not make me happy as their father . Enough of the crisis ; we do not want any crisis in Yorubaland. Where there is violence , progress and tranquillity will be deprived , but where there is peace , there is progress .
“ I specifically warn all youths in Ekiti State to maintain peaceful coexistence before, during and after the election , as brighter future awaits them if they productively discover themselves .
“ Youths must refuse to be used for political violence that waste lives because they too can become governor or President of the country in the nearest future . ”
The Ooni , who is the Co -Chairman of the National Council of Traditional Rulers of Nigeria , said political violence could reverse all the gains of development while calling on the people of the state to be peaceful before , during and after the election .
