The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III, has said that President Muhammadu Buhari has asked him to advice other traditional rulers in his domain to offer him advices on matters related to the way he should run a good government, and that such advices should be in writing.

Alaafin, who visited the Presidential at the Presidential Villa, Abuja to defend a  private memo he wrote to the president on the state of the nation, told news men that the President invited him over on the strength of the advice contained in his written memo..

“As a Nigerian and one of the topmost traditional rulers in the country, I sent a memorandum to the President which he acknowledged and asked me to come and endorse those things I have written.

“I think it was time for me to use the proper channel to reach the President for suggestions and advice.

“Where he deserves commendation, I should also do that especially as it concerns the multi-dimensional problems Nigeria is facing like the Avengers and bombing of oil installations, MEND and Boko Haram insurgency in the North East.

“The President listened attentively and has asked me to pass the information to other traditional rulers in my domain to assist the government by giving advice because he is a good listener; but that such advice should be put in writing so that he can then relate it to the problems affecting Nigeria.”

He commended the President for acting swiftly to flush out criminal elements that wanted to extend militancy to Lagos and the rest of South-West.

“I have met with the President and offered some suggestions. We are losing huge resources to the activities of the Niger Delta Avengers. Coming close to that is the infiltration of the militants in Lagos and Ikorodu where in the last three weeks, 10 landlords were massacred.” [myad]
