Speaking at a press conference held at the palace of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Alhaji Abdulsemiu Abdulhammed appealed to Muslim faithful to embrace peaceful coexistence.

He emphasised that no religious group had been instructed to disrupt the festival.

“Nobody is sending anyone to cause chaos during the Olojo festival because no one disturbs us during our own festivals.

Therefore, we are appealing to all Muslims in Ife to allow peaceful co-existence during the festival,” he said.

Abdulhammed commended the Ooni for his fatherly role in fostering religious tolerance across Ifeland, urging residents to continue supporting him in his efforts to promote unity.
