In her appeal, Aiyeola specifically named several prominent figures, including the Ooni of Ife, the Olubadan, Lagos monarchs, entertainers like Lege Miami, Eniola Badmus, Laide Bakare, Desmond Elliot, Funke Akindele, and Toyin Abraham. She asked them to use their platforms, connections, and influence to raise awareness and advocate for solutions. “Please lend your platform, lend your voices,” she pleaded, emphasizing that silence in the face of such violence is not an option.
She also directly addressed President Bola Tinubu, urging him to take decisive action. “President Tinubu, please do something. This is too sad,” she said, expressing deep concern for the safety of children, teachers, and families across the region. Aiyeola’s message resonated with many, highlighting the growing frustration among Nigerians who feel abandoned by both leaders and influencers during this critical time.
The attack in Oriire, where armed men stormed schools and abducted students and staff, has become a symbol of the worsening insecurity in the Southwest. The killing of a teacher has further intensified public outrage and fear. Aiyeola’s call to action reflects a broader demand for accountability and intervention from all levels of society. As the situation continues to deteriorate, her appeal serves as a reminder that every voice matters in the fight for peace and security. The hope is that her words will inspire more public figures to step forward and help turn the tide against violence.
