“The message is very clear. The South-West has stood by the North despite all odds; now it’s time for us to pay back, and we will do so.”
As reported by Vanguard, Yari disclosed this at his installation ceremony as Obaloyin of Yorubaland by the Alaafin of Oyo, Obaloyin Akeem Owoade, on Sunday in Oyo.

“Therefore, we in Northern Nigeria have no option but to follow and fully support him the first time and the second time, by God’s grace.
“We have started seeing what he is doing, and we pray for his success and a better Nigeria during his reign.
“With this chieftaincy title, we are sons of this place, and we will do our best to promote the cultural values of this institution wherever we find ourselves.”
