Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, the Ooni of Ife has announced pop singer, 2Face Idibia the ambassador of his new initiative, Violence Free World.
The Ooni made the announcement on
Thursday, September 29, 2016 in his palace when he unveiled the singer to his
subjects and the entire public.
Also unveiled as co-ambassadors of
the initiative were comedian, Gbenga Adeyinka 1st and entertainment
entrepreneur, Cally Ikpe.
Speaking at the event, the Ooni
urged the new ambassadors to take his trust in them seriously as he believes
they have achieved so much that they can make positive impacts in preaching a
violence free world.
"I want to stress that you
should understand that this role you are given should not be taken with a pinch
of salt. You have all shown exemplary acts in the Nigerian entertainment world
and over the years, you all have individually and collectively given your voice
to ending violence in our world.
"I will urge you to strive
harder to ensure you preach peace and unity everywhere you go and be an
ambassador of the initiative which I believe we youths have to combat the act
of terror and violence in the world," Ooni said.
Reacting to the investiture, 2Face
said he is glad and honoured to have been noticed by the monarch saying he will
do all his best to ensure he preaches peace always.
"For me, the Ooni has just
exemplified the true essence of the type of monarch we need at this point in
Nigeria. His love for preaching and making peace has been the mantra of his
reign and I'm glad to be part of that mantra."
On his part, Gbenga Adeyinka 1st
said he is more happy to be honoured by the respected monarch even though he
had always been a peace ambassador.
