The chairman of Ife Central West Local Council Development Area, Hon Ayobami Folorunsho, has called on leaders in the country to work for the unity and growth of the country, saying this would develop the country as the nation is facing serious economic hardship.

Ayobami disclosed this in a chat with journalists in Ile-Ife during the weekend, calling for unity of all and sundry, stressing that the growth and development of the country depend on leaders.

He warned against discrimination among politicians, ethnicity and even religion. Ayobami noted that if there is discrimination among politicians, playing politics of ethnicity and religion would not assist in the growth of the country.

He said there is neither development nor unity where ethnicity and religion reign supreme, adding that leaders need to speak in unison to move the country beyond expectation that would make the citizens proud of the country.

The Chairman therefore, appealed to citizenry to speak in one voice, so as to move the country forward.
