The Ooni of Ife Oba Enitan Ogunwusi On Friday said oracles that choose poor people as traditional rulers will suffer the consequences.
The traditional ruler while speaking at the inauguration of the Owa Obokun of Ijeshaland Oba Clement Adesuyi Haastrup in Ilesa said the governor of the state Ademola Adeleke made the best decision in the choice of Haastrup as the new Monarch.
Speaking in Yoruba, the Ooni said oracles now see better and clearly in decisions to pick monarchs.
He said the choice of successful candidates as monarchs will aid the development of their communities.
His statement drew loud responses from the expansive hall where the reception was held.
At the reception were former Vice Presidents Atiku Abubakar and Architect Namadi Sambo, former Governor of Osun Rauf Aregbesola, Aare Ona Kakanfo Gani Adams, Governor of Oyo State Seyi Makinde who was represented by his Deputy Barr Bayo Lawal, Governor Lucky Ayedatiwa and others.
