The Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Gani Adams, has identified restructuring as the solution to insecurity in the nation.
Adams said this in Lagos during the celebration of his 6th installation anniversary at the weekend. He expressed his determination to strengthen the bond of unity and peace in Yorubaland.
He also said his position as the generalissimo has been a strong motivation for his commitment to unity, peace and progress across the South-West.
Gani Adams restated his belief in the Yoruba, saying history has provided a place for the Yoruba to take their pride of place among all races.
His words: “I will always protect the interest of the Yoruba race, anytime, anywhere. That is the first and fundamental duty of the Yoruba generalissimo. What we are doing here today is never a jamboree but a reflection of the sanctity and importance of the stool. It is not because we like partying but because it is the tradition of the position.”
On the appointment of the Aare-in-Council, Gani Adams said it was to reposition the office of the Aare Ona Kakanfo
He said: “We inaugurated three chieftains of the Aare in council today and they are Chief Oluwole Adedeji as the Jagunmolu Aareonakakanfo of Yoruba land.
“Also, Chief Alice Eniola as Yeye Gbareniyi and Chief Sakiru Adedayo Omoyeni as the Opeluwa Aareonakakanfo of Yoruba land.
“As the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yoruba land, I cannot do it alone. I will need people who can assist in making key decisions in the interest of the race.
“So the Aareonakakanfo chiefs in council are products of my good offices. And they will complement my efforts and roles in advancing the course of the race,” Gani Adams added.
