Tinubu deserves to remain Nigeria’s President for ‘Long, Long Time’ – Olubadan Says

The Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rasheed Ladoja, has said President Bola Tinubu deserves to remain Nigeria’s president for a “long, long time”.

Ladoja made the statement on Monday during the flag-off ceremony for the dualisation of the Ibadan-Ijebu road in the Oluyole Local Government Area of Oyo State.

The monarch dismissed the perception that the event was a political rally for the All Progressives Congress (APC), saying the gathering was primarily to appreciate Tinubu for approving the road project.

“I’ve been hearing everybody talking APC, APC. Bola Tinubu is not an APC man, no. Bola Tinubu is working and deserves to be president for a long, long time,” Ladoja said.

“This is not an APC rally. It is a rally that we are here to thank Mr President for making this road project possible.”

The Olubadan commended the Tinubu administration for embarking on the road project, particularly because of the security challenges previously experienced along the route.

“Those of us in Ibadan know that the only area in Ibadan where terrorists have been kidnapping people is this road,” he said.

Ladoja further stressed that Tinubu should be viewed as the President of Nigeria rather than as the leader of a political party.

“Bola Tinubu deserves more than being an APC president. He’s not an APC president. He’s president of Nigeria,” the monarch said.

Although Ladoja did not specify how long he believed Tinubu should remain in office, the Nigerian Constitution limits a president to two four-year terms.

Tinubu was elected president in 2023 and is eligible to seek re-election in 2027 for a final four-year term.
