The Traditional Rulers called on the government at all levels to come to their rescue.
They also called for unity among all sons and daughters of the land in the interest of the collective development of Bunu land.
Reacting on behalf of BDA, Pastor Kolawole appreciated the oneness of the Obas and the reception accorded the executive, while assuring the monarchs that the current executive will do all within its power to bring the demands to government’s attention.
He solicited prayers and cooperation of Bunu people for the BDA Executive at all times.
