“We are pleased to report that peace prevails throughout Ondo State,” Aiyedatiwa stated. “In areas such as Ikare, Arigidi, and Okeagbe, harmony has been maintained. The four traditional rulers in attendance coexist peacefully, and we encourage them to continue this positive spirit.”

He added, “The Ondo State government holds our traditional leaders in high regard. When peace exists among them, it is easier to promote our culture. We have engaged with our traditional rulers to ensure they continue to highlight the unique cultures of their communities.
