Dr. Kadiri Obafemi Hamzat, the Lagos state deputy governor, emphasized the need for unity among religious and regional leaders in Nigeria as the country approaches the 2027 general elections. He made this call during the official turbaning ceremony of Prince Tajudeen Oluyole Olusi (OON) as the Baba Adinni of Yoruba Land, which took place at the Onikan Stadium in Lagos.

Hamzat urged Nigerians to support the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to ensure continuity in governance.

The event, organized by the Council of Islamic Preachers, also saw Chief Mrs. Folashade Tinubu-Ojo installed as the Iya Adinni of Yoruba Land. Dr. Seyi Bamigbade, the chairman of the Planning Committee, praised Prince Olusi for deserving the prestigious title, linking it to his 90th birthday celebrations.
