Traditional rulers across the South-West have endorsed President Bola Tinubu for a second term ahead of the 2027 general election.
The endorsement was announced on Wednesday in Ibadan, Oyo State, following a meeting of prominent monarchs at the palace of the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja.
The Alake of Egbaland, Oba Aremu Gbadebo, announced the decision while reading a communiqué on behalf of the monarchs.
Other prominent traditional rulers at the meeting included the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Ogunwusi, and the Olubadan, Oba Rashidi Ladoja.
The monarchs also called on traditional rulers across the region to mobilise support for Tinubu’s re-election bid.
They expressed support for the President’s decision to remove fuel subsidy, describing it as an important policy direction in managing the country’s economy.
The traditional rulers also backed the proposed establishment of state police as part of efforts to address Nigeria’s security challenges.
The meeting comes as political activities and alignments gather momentum ahead of the 2027 general election.
Further details of the communiqué are expected to emerge.
