The Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba (Dr) Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi, says the political status of the national leader of the All Progressives Congress, Ahmed Bola Tinubu, is unprecedented in Yoruba’s history.
Speaking in his palace at the weekend while receiving Vice President Yemi Osinbajo ahead of the forthcoming general elections, the monarch described Tinubu as “the replicate” of the late siege, Obafemi Awolowo.
According to him, Tinubu is “the current nationwide symbol of the cradle of natural crowns (Yoruba) who has built both human and political structure to the survival of Nigeria in general and Yoruba race in particular.”
The monarch charged Yoruba sons and daughters to support Tinubu’s political association “to navigate the propelled aspirations and greatness of the race.”
He said: “Tinubu is a nation on his own. He has what it takes to survive, but has continued in politics because of the country’s interest and Yoruba nation. As a patriot, nothing is as valuable as supporting his political association to catapult the country to the envisaged status.
“Tinubu has made many things out of nothing. He built humans across boards. Human development is his primary asset. The vice president, ministers, governors, CEOs of agencies, doctors, lawyers, business magnates, monarchs, etc are products of Tinubu to the glory of God today.”
