Oyo Monarch Seeks Support For Tinubu on Policies

July 6, 2023 2 min read

His Royal Majesty, Oba (Engr) Kazeem Adio Adegboye, the Onisanbo of Ogbooroland, Oke Ogun, Oyo State, has called on Nigerians to support President Bola Tinubu on his policies.

The Oba in a statement personally signed and made available to newsmen said that President Tinubu’s emergence was one that happened by an act of God.

According to him, “as traditional rulers who are the closest to the people, we have a duty to give the right direction at our various traditional communities of royalty towards generating unalloyed loyalty and constructive support that the President requires to lead us into success.”

The king, who also congratulated Mallam Nuhu Ribadu on his appointment as National Security Adviser (NSA) to the President, thanked Tinubu for knowing how and where to start his new government and what to do to get the nation’s machinery lubricated for action.

Describing Nuhu Ribadu as his good friend, O a Adegboye said that his pedigree as a great son of a great former prominent figure in Nigeria told one thing about him and that his excellent performance as the first Nigerian chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) still remained in people’s memory and could not be wished away in a hurry.

“It is from this background that I have confidence that he will do well to properly and adequately advise President Tinubu in the right direction that, working in harmony with the security chiefs, will give the country the enduring peace that it requires to forge ahead in its developmental plans,” Oba Adegboye said.

In the same vein, the Oyo monarch congratulated Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, stating that he has the assurance of his throne that people of Ogbooro Kingdom in Oke Ogun will stand with him in prayers.

He also said that his people would accord the governor the moral support that a governor needed to succeed.
