Tinubu, an asset to Nigeria, says Oluwo

The Oluwo of Iwo Oba Abdul-Rasheed Akanbi has described national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as an asset to Nigeria.

He said he was proud of him and his contributions to political, social and economic survival of Nigeria.

The Oluwo, who spoke with reporters in Osogbo, Osun State capital at the weekend, said Tinubu as a progressive politician and a non-tribal nationalist and has committed his resources to national unity.

According to the first class monarch, everything about Tinubu was provision of quality representation as exemplified in the digital turning around of Lagos during his tenure as governor.

The Oluwo described Tinubu as the architect of modern Lagos.

Oluwo further described the APC national leader as a symbol of unity, saying with his economic and political contacts as well as establishments across Nigeria he had contributed to a united Nigeria.

Oba Akanbi appealed to Nigerians to pray for past nationalists and rally support for current nationalists to encourage them to pilot the nation to a constructive end.

According to him: “Tinubu is an asset to Nigeria as a whole. He made the first mega city in Nigeria and turned it into a digital metropolis.

“He is the architect of modern Nigeria and a rallying point to all even across geo-political zones of the country.

“He is a leader of merit, committing his resources to national integration through his economic and political resources.

“God has used him to make many Nigerians in different capacities. He is a complete Nigerian of no discrimination, nepotism or division.

“He is a force and a rallying point. I am proud to have him as my son. He is making me proud. Spiritually and traditionally, I am his father.

“I am proud to have children of national and international stature like Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola. I consider this as a blessing to me.

“They all made me proud and I easily make reference to them. It is one thing to be influential and another thing to commit the influence to the growth of your country.

“So, I charge aspiring young Nigerians to emulate Tinubu in the promotion of national unity, survival and development of this nation.”
