On Thursday, the Ooni of Ife, Enitan Ogunwusi hosted the immediate past
President of Ghana, John Mahama and his team at the palace in Ile -Ife,
Osun State. During the visit, he said, “before the advent of the Western
civilization, there were no boundaries between the African nations and
communities, we are one big family. It gladdens my heart that with
committed individuals like President Mahama, we have remained that
united big family working together for the progress of the African
continent.” The Ooni also praised the former Ghanaian leader for
exhibiting what he described as a humility and simplicity. According to
him, Mahama personally received him in Ghana while in office two years
ago and served him. “When I was in Ghana to honour Mr President two
years ago, he was in power, to the glory of God, he displayed humility
and simplicity. He didn’t even wait for an aide to do anything for me.
He did it by himself. He made tea and offered me by himself. There is no
difference between when he was in power and when he was not. That’s
humility and simplicity.”
