Edo Monarch Praises Northern Leaders for Backing Tinubu

His Royal Highness Lukman Akemokue, the Okuokpellagbe of Okpella in Etsako East Local Government Area of Edo State, commended the northern political leaders' coalition, Arewa for Asiwaju (A4A), for supporting President Bola Tinubu's re-election in 2027. Akemokue described this decision as a demonstration of political maturity and progress in Nigeria's democratic development.

He noted that the coalition, chaired by former Kano State governor Senator Ibrahim Shekarau, signifies a necessary call for political stability through power rotation, which, while not explicitly stated in the Constitution, has become a crucial understanding in Nigeria's political landscape. Akemokue argued that honoring such commitments fosters trust and reduces grievances among regions.

He also highlighted the economic implications of sustained reforms and the potential for strengthened national security through political inclusion, asserting that a fair rotation of power can mitigate regional agitations and enhance national unity.
