“I am sure your role here is that of someone who brings together communities — not just Yorubas, but everybody.
“And I can see that from your choice of chiefs, you have gone to other parts, and I think this is the attitude of great leaders.
“You should know that you are always in my prayers, because I believe that your role is crucial, not just for the development of this state, but for the whole country.
“Today, you cannot relegate traditional rulers because of the exposure and education of those who occupy that position.”
