Ooni Caucus: Our Mandate and Mission IN YORUBALAND
By Ooni Caucus
STOP THE FAKE POSTS
In the past several months, there has been in circulation, mainly in the social media, a
purported press release on Yoruba self-determination attributed to the Ooni caucus. The report falsely claimed that the caucus comprises 22 members who were constituted into a committee and charged with the actualisation of Yoruba self-determination.
For the avoidance of doubt, our mission remains:
To support and advise Kabiyesi Oonirisa in the discharge of his royal mandate in furtherance of the institutionalisation of the ancient oodua stool. To extend similar facility and goodwill to the other leading traditional monarchs in Yoruba land.
To serve as bridge builders across the cleavages that have perennially obstruct unity of purpose among the Yoruba people and regularly engage with critical stakeholders
To anticipate and proactively engage with developments within the fraught and fluid context of contemporary Nigeria as it concerns the welfare and well-being of the Yoruba.
