The Ondo State Governor, Mr Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has called on traditional rulers in the state to prioritise dialogue, mediation, and diplomacy in resolving land disputes, chieftaincy tussles, and inter-community conflicts.
Aiyedatiwa made the call in Akure, the state capital, on Wednesday during a three-day capacity-building workshop organised for traditional rulers by the Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs.
