Traditional worshippers in Ondo State have urged governments to adopt traditional oath-taking for political officeholders in Nigeria
They argued that traditional oath-taking by political leaders would help curb corruption and the arbitrary use of power.
Speaking during the Isese Day celebration in Akure, the state capital, on Tuesday, the Araba Awo of Oke Agbe, Ayobami Ogedengbe, suggested that traditional oaths would bring a new dimension to the country’s political landscape.
Ogedengbe explained that this approach would help restore integrity in governance, as the average Nigerian, particularly the Yoruba, understands the severe consequences of violating such an oath.
