The Ooni of Ife, Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, has called for unity and peaceful coexistence among the human race.
The first-class monarch made the call on Tuesday at the conclusion of the 2026 World Obàtálá Festival in Ilé-Ifẹ̀.
Oba Ogunwusi described the annual sacred celebration as a powerful spiritual platform for peace, moral rebirth and cultural renewal.
In a statement signed by Otunba Moses Olafare, the Director, Media & Public Affairs, Ooni’s Palace, the monarch noted that the festival remains one of the most profound spiritual observances in Yorubaland, symbolising purity, wisdom, patience and the sanctity of human existence.
He stressed that the rites and prayers performed throughout the festival were meant to realign the people with the values of truth, righteousness and compassionate leadership.
The Ooni urged everyone to carry the lessons of Obàtálá beyond the shrines into everyday life, stressing that true spirituality is reflected in humility, justice, peaceful coexistence and service to humanity.
