Telescope.ng reports that Oba Akanbi, who said that Tinubu is a unifier whose conducts have been instrumental to the sustenance of one Nigeria, said the former governor turned Lagos state into a template for others to emulate. He, therefore, urged Nigerians to entrust the destiny of the country in his hand.
The monarch said: “Tinubu is a detribalised Nigerian. His milestone in turning Lagos State to a cynosure of all eyes is a credit to his image. Entrust Nigeria in his hand and go to sleep. You will see wonder when you wake up.”
The Oluwo further asked those condemning Tinubu to assess his mental asset, saying governance has nothing to do with age.
He said most of those castigating Tinubu had personal issues with him.
The monarch, in a statement by his press secretary, Alli Ibraheem, said: “Tinubu is like a king. You don’t know where he belongs. He can go to mosque, church or the traditional way. He is a Muslim. His wife and son, Seyi, are Christians.
“People may think he is arrogant because he tells the truth. Anybody who tells the truth is adjudged to be arrogant. People say I am arrogant too. It is because I love and cherish the truth. Tinubu is not a tribalistic Nigerian. Only Tinubu has better structure and image to unify Nigeria.”
