The Oluwo of Iwo, Oba AbdulRasheed Akanbi has called on the youth in Osun State to come to him whenever the need arise to protest any acts of injustice in Nigeria.
The monarch said he was ready to lead the youth in any genuine protest as a way to make their demands get to the authorities concerned.
Oba Akanbi spoke in Osogbo during an interactive programme organized by Osun State government tagged “Osun #ENDSARS Aftermath Stakeholders’ Engagement”.
He said the best way to organise protest and make it work is to have the leadership that can sit down with the government in a dialogue.
Oluwo berated organisers of EndSARS protest for lack of leadership which he said was responsible for the hijack by hoodlums who eventually perpetrated destruction and looting of private and public property.
“Next time of you want to organise protest and you don’t have anyone to lead you, you may be afraid that they may kill you or you are afraid of being arrested, come to me, I will lead the protest.
“There is no way you can organise protest without leadership. You must give room for dialogue because it is the leadership that will eventually sit down and discuss with the government. That is the only way you can fight and get your demands to government”, Oluwo said.
