The Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, has called on Nigerians to be patient with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration, emphasizing the President's commitment to grassroots development. The Oba made this appeal during a visit from the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, at his Iga Idugaran palace in Lagos.
Oba Akiolu expressed confidence in President Tinubu's intentions for the nation, urging citizens to support him with prayers. "All that I am saying and appealing is that we should pray for Nigeria and the President. We should be patient. Everything good needs prayers," he stated.
The monarch also encouraged Nigerian youth to stay close to God, recognizing their hard work and potential. He acknowledged that while some youth may appear lazy and dependent, they should be taught to be self-reliant and proactive.
During the visit, Oba Akiolu reiterated his call for a special status for Lagos State, given its history as the former Federal Capital of Nigeria.
Senator Oluremi Tinubu, accompanied by the wives of some South West Governors, National Assembly Members, ministers, and service chiefs, expressed gratitude for the Oba's support and blessings. She assured the royal father of her husband's dedication to Nigeria's progress. "I assure you that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will do well for this country. He loves Nigeria, he loves Nigerians, and will do the best for them," she affirmed.
The First Lady also promised that the request for a special status for Lagos would be brought to the attention of the National Assembly through Lagos representatives.
The visit concluded with traditional blessings from the Oba of Lagos.
