Traditional rulers in Lagos State have endorsed All Progressives Congress (APC) National Leader and former governor of the state, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu for president in 2023.
They described him as a national asset, resourceful and experienced leader, a bridge builder and good manager of men and resources.
They said he is eminently qualified to serve in the highest office, adding that if elected, Nigeria will savour a glorious dawn.
Tinubu has not declared any ambition, although individuals, organisations and groups have been urging him to declare interest in the presidency.
The royal fathers endorsed Tinubu during their retreat at the Eko Hotel, Lagos.
Decked in native costumes with flowing beads and crowns to match, they unanimously raised their horsetails in affirmation of their endorsement.
The theme of the conference was:”Peace and Conflict Resolution: The role of traditional rulers.” Speakers included Lagos State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice Moyo Onigbanjo and Prof. Akin Ibidapo-Obe of the University of Lagos, Akoka.
Besides, they hailed the efforts of the Sanwo-Olu administration in conflict resolution and security in the Centre of Excellence.
They also promised to support the government as it continues to implement laudable progressive and people-oriented policies and programmes in the five divisions, three senatorial districts and 57 councils in the state.
