Traditional rulers across the South-West have endorsed President Bola Tinubu for a second term, urging monarchs in the region to mobilise support for his re-election.
The endorsement was announced on Wednesday in Ibadan through a communiqué read by the Alake of Egbaland, Oba Aremu Gbadebo, at the end of a meeting held at the palace of the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja.
The monarchs called on traditional rulers across the region to encourage their subjects to support Tinubu’s second-term ambition.
They also backed the President’s decision to remove fuel subsidy, describing the policy as an important step in the country’s economic management.
On security, the monarchs expressed support for the proposed establishment of state police, noting its importance in addressing security challenges across the country.
The meeting brought together prominent traditional rulers from different parts of the South-West, including the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Ogunwusi; the Olubadan of Ibadanland; and the Alake of Egbaland.
