By Christian ABURIME

The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi has described Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo as a true Nigerian.

The Ooni was speaking when he paid a visit to the Governor at the Governor's Lodge, Amawbia.

According to the Monarch, Governor Soludo has tried to live his life as a true Nigerian ambassador, representing the country in both character and attire.

The Ooni eulogized the glorious days of Governor Soludo at the Central Bank of Nigeria which eventually gave rise to the consolidation of banks in the country.

He encouraged the Governor to continue his selfless service to Anambra State in particular and Nigeria at large.

Recieving the Monarch, Governor Soludo said that the likes of the Ooni is needed for national healing in this critical challenging time of Nigeria's nationhood.

The Governor described him as the most travelled king and encouraged him to keep being the bridge builder.

He noted that now that a President had been elected, Nigerians owe him a duty to support him, saying that the traditional institution, being a stable entity, is the needed building block to help salvage the nation.

The Governor noted that the institution provide the balancing force for the country, especially if everyone bond together, noting that there is increased need for more national leaders who see everyone as one people and the country as one entity, to ensure stability for the nation.

The Ooni, who had some kings in his entourage later presented a symbolic gift of bronze carving to the Governor, which had the image of a hunter, standing on the rock.
