” Also , any election that will hold in Nigeria , as you know that all is politics , they needed to come to traditional rulers that are both representative of both the government and their subjects, ” Ademiluyi said .

He further praised the Ooni of Ile -Ife , Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi ,for making him a king in the ancient town of Osi-Okero in Ife , adding that he would not disappoint his subjects .
