An open letter to President Muhammadu Buhari by the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi iii
Your Excellency,
I have never been timid or shy of my total support for the success of your administration to deliver the country to the promised land.
My confidence had always been based on Your Excellency’s ability, fitness and competence in leading the country to the Promised Land, where Law and Order prevail, individual liberty is guaranteed, economic well-being of the citizens is assured.
That my confidence in Your Excellency remains unshaken to date. In recent time however, I am worried about the security situation in the country, especially in the South West geo-political zone, nay the entire Yoruba-speaking area of the country including Kwara, Kogi and Edo states.
