‘The gods happy with subsidy removal’
Tamarauemi Ebimini
The Traditional Religion Worshipers Association in Osun State (TRAWSO) has claimed that the Ifa oracle was in support of petrol subsidy removal because it will benefit citizens in the long run.
The worshippers urged the Federal Government to urgently introduce palliatives to cushion the effects on the poor.
TRAWSO President, Dr Oluseyi Atanda, who spoke at a medical outreach organised by the state executive to mark two years in office, said Ifa recognises that the policy may come with pains.
He said: “We have seen what Ifa has told us in Ifa Chapter ‘Owonrin Okanran’ that the decision is right, but the government should be sincere and do things the proper way.
“Ifa is emphasising that this is the way to go and it may come with some pain; it may come with some fear.
“Ifa says that we shall all benefit from the honey and wine that will come from it, but the government must also be sincere.”
