Ogunwusi said the agitation for self-determination would be successful with the support of women.
The monarch spoke yesterday at his palace in Ile-Ife, Osun State, while hosting some women under the aegis of Obinrin Oodua Agbaye.
According to Ooni: “Women are not timid, they are warriors. From the Holy Bible, we read how Deborah fought for her people and conquered.
“Moremi fought and delivered the people of Ancient Ife from the Igbomekun who were our deadly adversaries.
“Therefore, women are key to our struggle for self-determination and we must carry them along, going forward.
“Again, I want to say very expressly that If we fail to have the support of our women folks, we are going nowhere.

Days after agitators of Oduduwa Republic inaugurated a security outfit in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, named Oduduwa Nation Security Force, with code-name “Operation Paramole’, the state governor, Dapo Abiodun inaugurated the Amotekun corps on Thursday in Abeokuta, the state capital.
During the ceremony, the governor also unveiled patrol vehicles and motorcycles for operatives of the Amotekun corps in the state.
David Akinremi, a retired commissioner of police, was announced as commander of the corps.
The operatives are expected to be deployed to all the 20 LGAs of the state to curb kidnapping, herder-farmer crisis, and banditry.
In 2020, governors of the south-west states established the security outfit to tackle the rising cases of criminality in the region.
