Olubadan’s Designate Makes A Statement About Tinubu’s Ambitions For The Presidency

The Olubadan of Ibadan designate, Lekan Balogun, has told Bola Tinubu, the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and 2023 presidential hopeful that “by God’s grace, you will triumph”.

POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Balogun, who spoke through his brother, Senator Kola Balogun (Peoples Democratic Party, PDP-Oyo South) on Sunday said that the South-West geo-political zone is “looking forward to a Yoruba president”.

While receiving Tinubu in his Alarere residence, Balogun said he wants Nigeria’s next president to unite the nation, as well as bring development to the country.

“Yorubas are the leading light of Nigeria, our people contributed a lot to make Nigeria what it is and without the Yorubas, Nigeria cannot be where it is today. But, it is very sad to note the ‘to your tent oh Israel’ that has of recent become the sing-song of the people.

“We are looking forward to a Yoruba president that will further strengthen and unite the country come 2023.

“We need a leader that has national focus and acceptability; the road may be rough, but, by God’s grace, you (Tinubu) will triumph,” Balogun said.
