The Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuwade, on Saturday, demanded a total representation of the South-West in the cabinet of President Goodluck Jonathan and the creation of the Oduduwa Statewith its headquarters in Ile Ife.
The monarch made the requests among others when Jonathan led notable chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party, including the National
Chairman of the party, Adamu Muazu, on a visit to his palace in Ile Ife, Osun State.
About 50 other traditional rulers from Osun State and environs were present to receive the president. This is the second time Jonathan would be visiting the palace to solicit the supporo of the royal fathers and the people of the state to
ensure victory in the March 28 presidential election. Jonathan promised the monarchs that he would
correct all the lapses observed by his administration especially the low representation of the south-west people in his government. More pictures below…
