In a statement on his X handle, Rhode-Vivour stated that this madness and desecration of our land will not be accepted. Tinubu Needs to Tell us if Protecting His Alliance is Worth Blood of our Kings.
“We Must Declare WAR on these depraved criminals who have found the audacity to kill our kings and traditional rulers.
“We will not accept this madness and desecration of our land. Bola Ahmed Tinubu will have to tell us if protecting his alliance is worth the bloods of our kings and the cries of our children,” Rhode-Vivour stated.
The comments come after several high-profile assassinations of traditional rulers in Ekiti and Kwara State amongst other kidnapped cases, which have sparked widespread outrage and concern among the population.
