Yoruba Monarchs Support Tinubu and State Police Initiative

On November 12, traditional rulers from the South-West region of Nigeria convened at the Olubadan Palace in Ibadan North Local Government Area, Oyo State, to discuss significant regional and national issues. They endorsed President Bola Tinubu for a continuation in office beyond 2027 and expressed support for the establishment of state police to enhance Nigeria's security framework.

The monarchs, led by Oba Adedotun Gbadebo, rejected the reinstatement of fuel subsidy. They acknowledged the positive impact of the rotational presidency on political stability and national cohesion, advocating for its continuation and suggesting that the presidency should remain in Southern Nigeria for the next electoral cycle.

The council called for increased grassroots mobilization to encourage public support for government initiatives aimed at economic growth and social development.
