The Maye of Yorubaland, Dr. Ramon Adedoyin has said that he bears no grudge against the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Ogunwusi.
Adedoyin said this shortly after the visit of an umbrella body of associations of Ife people, Ife Action Council, led by the president of the association, Dr. Gbolade Famoriyo and four Ife elders at the Senate Building , Oduduwa University, Ipetumodu, Osun State.
According to Adedoyin, who is also the founder of the Oduduwa University, the rumour of his animosity with Ooni was the handiwork of miscreants and enemies of Ife who are averse to the progress of Ife.
Justifying that there had never been any animosity between him and Ooni, Adedoyin disclosed that Oba Ogunwusi had paid a visit to his residence and had also attended some of the programmes of the Oduduwa University.
Maye, therefore, advised those who are heating up the polity and waiting to benefit from this perceived animosity with Ooni to allow peace reign in Ile Ife, adding that he would not dignify these group of people with any response.
Adedoyin promised that in no distance time, himself and Ooni would meet and plan big for the growth and development of Ile Ife. “As I’m speaking with you, myself and Ooni talk,” he told The Nation.
Maye said he was not interested in politics or contesting any political position. “I’m also not interested in any chieftaincy be it the Ooni or Emese. As a matter of fact, I have discouraged my children from being interested in any position, be it political or chieftaincy in Ile-Ife.”
