Scout Nigeria has conferred on the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, the ambassador of Messenger of Peace in Nigeria and a member of the group’s Board of Trustees.
At an investiture programme in the palace of the Ooni on Friday, the Scout group said they felt the monarch was at the same level as the King of Saudi Arabia, Abdulaziz or beyond his level, who was invested as the world’s Messenger of Peace, earlier this year and so, was worthy of the post.
They said, their believe was that in a short period, the king would also rise to the position of the world patron of the Messenger of Peace.
The President of Scout Nigeria, Folabi Shofolahan, added that the main reason Oba Enitan was picked, was that when he ascended the throne in 2015, he broke a 79 years age long rivalry between the Ooni and the Alaafin of Oyo by paying him a courtesy visit, which typifies a true messenger of peace.
Oba Enitan Ogunwusi, promised to repay the gesture with commitment to the mission he had been asked to embark upon, saying he would support the group whenever he was called upon.
