Shortly after ascension on the thrown, the Oonirisa entered into a dialogue with Chief Anike Obot and her crew on how unity in Yorubaland can be fostered through the resonance of the Kiriji War and the peace accord of 1886.
Speaking with journalists after her visits to many notable royal fathers in Yoruba land, Chief Obot said, “when we were starting this project 18 years ago, we visited the Owa Ooye of Okemesi, the father of Fabunmi Oraralada who led Ekitiparapo legion, we visited Latoosa in Ibadan and many stakeholders who gave us their backing then.
Now that we are about to enter location with the support of our father, Ooni of Ife, we have decided to revisit the stakeholders again.”
