The Ooni of Ife, Oba Ade-yeye Ogun-wusi says traditional rulers need to be assigned constitutional roles in the security and governance architecture of the country, if it wants to tackle emerging and contemporary security challenges.
The Ooni spoke at the 2023 exercise Haski Hiyu lecture series, organised by the Armed Forces command and staff college, Jaji, Kaduna state.
He stressed that the failure of the security agencies and the government to assign specific constitutional roles to traditional rulers was largely responsible for the lingering insecurity in the country.
