President Bola Tinubu says traditional institutions remain integral to the country’s development.
The President, who stated this when he received the forty-sixth Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Abimbola Abdulhakeem Owoade One and a delegation of other traditional rulers from Oyo State at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, called for more support in implementing policies that directly impact people’s livelihoods.
President Tinubu congratulated the Alaafin for his ascendancy to the historic throne, assuring the royal father of his prayers and support.
He noted that the hurdles, processes and anxiety along the way were part of the preparation for the position.
The President commended the traditional council for the ease in nominating and crowning the forty-sixth Alaafin following Oba Lamidi Adeyemi’s passing on April twenty-two, 2022.
President Tinubu said his administration will continue to work with traditional institutions to implement policies to protect and prosper citizens.
