The Aragbiji Of Iragbiji will be the royal father of the day while Grand Imam of State of Osun, Shaykh Musa Animasahun would be the spiritual Father of the Day, he said.

Speaking on the state of the nation, Olawuyi said “we would want to reiterate that the Federal Government should not relent its efforts in fighting Terrorism, Kidnappings, and fighting bandits.”

“The Community commends the effort of the Federal Government’s commitment with the purchase of the state of the art Military Equipment to prosecute the insurgecies, it is our prayer that Allah grants our soldiers success.”

“The Security is every body’s business, Nigerians should be security conscious and assist the Government in exposing miscreants and mischievous elements in the society.”

“The agitation to breakup Nigeria is uncalled for. The Federating units of the Federal Republic of Nigeria should see strength in unity and consolidation of Nigeria forefathers’ achievements.”

“All the segments of our Government are called upon to have roundtable discussion with all the agrived units and a way forward towards a formidable and united Nigeria”.

Olawuyi expressed gratitude to the Osun State Government for sustaining the partnerhip with OSMC on Hijrah of celebration and and upholding Hijrah holiday in the State.
