President Muhammadu Buhari promised that insecurity will be eliminated before the end of the year in Ile-Ife, Osun, on Saturday, September 24, 2022.
The President who provided the reassurance at the 2022 Olojo Festival’s grand finale claimed that all Nigerians must take part in the fight to remove insecurity, according to a statement from Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola conveyed through the Minister of Internal Affairs.
An old event called the Olojo Festival is annually observed in Ile-Ife. Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi once referred to it as a celebration that honours the Black race worldwide.
He stated that only the security agencies could not fight the war against insecurity.

“Security must be a priority for all of us. To address the difficulties of insecurity, we must cooperate with security authorities and the administration,” he stated.
Oba Ogunwusi made a significant contribution to the fight against insecurity, and Buhari praised him for it.
Adegboyega Oyetola, the governor of Osun, earlier praised the Ooni for having the determination and ability to preserve the rich history of his ancestors.
The yearly Olojo Festival, according to Oyetola, who was represented by his deputy Mr. Benedict Alabi, is extraordinary in the history of Ile-Ife and the Yoruba people.

Perhaps the only place where the start of a new day is celebrated is here.
Without sugarcoating it, this celebration amplifies Ile-position Ife’s in the universe and its significance to humanity. To celebrate it and give it its proper place, we must all work together, he remarked.
He congratulated the Ooni on the successful conclusion of the rituals and the festival’s spectacular finale this year.
Oyetola praised Ooni Ogunwusi for his sacrifices and for communicating with the dead by carrying out the essential ceremonies of purification, production, security, and other things for the good of the Black race and of mankind as a whole.
