The Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdurosheed Akanbi has urged President Bola Tinubu to ignore the threat of military invasion by his United States counterpart, Donald Trump, over claims of Christian genocide in Nigeria.
The monarch made this call after the annual Olodumare festival in Iwo on Sunday night, urging Tinubu not to worry about external forces.
Oba Akanbi affirmed, “you will be successful if you give all glory to God Almighty. You need to give more glory to God than you have been doing. If we can all return to God, there is nothing to fear.
“There is no reason to fear Trump. if you submit your concerns to God, who created all, including Trump, there is no reason for fear. Iwo has remained untouched by war due to its community’s steadfast devotion to God.
“Nigeria is chosen to carry the glory of Africa, Tinubu should not fear any nuclear power, we don’t fear any war or Trump himself.
“Even the America, if you check their slogan, it is ‘In God we trust’, that is why they can’t be ravaged by war, if Nigeria can do the same, no war can overpower us.”
Ti’nubu should not fear Trump, or nuclear power but fear God, if he can do this, he should not worry God Almighty is behind Nigeria which is the reason why he made Tinubu our president.
“Here in Iwoland, we don’t fear anyone, we don’t fear any nuclear power, we don’t fear Trump. So, Tinubu should not fear Trump; he should fear God.
“He does not need to fear nuclear power; he should fear God (Olodumare). That is why Iwo has never been ravaged by war,” he added.
Commenting on this year Odun Eledumare celebration, the monarch remarked, “All traditional rulers must know that their palaces belong to the unquestionable God; they should be representatives of God on earth and not serve deities. It is only God that appoints kings,”
He stressed, “Our annual celebration is to pray to God for new beginnings. This year, we want God to cleanse our land from generational curses.
“We have handed over Iwo kingdom to God Almighty, every year he has been doing great for us by protecting and providing for us. This is the only land that has never been ravaged by war. We are using this kind of event to clean the land from generational curses.
“God is the one who owns Yoruba palaces, hence will must have recourse to him. Kings of Yoruba must extol God and not be representatives of deities.
“I am a king chosen by God to champion this prayer against generational curses.”
