Olubadan says Nigeria needs a Yoruba President with national focus
The Olubadan of Ibadan designate, Dr Lekan Balogun, has lent his voice to the 2023 presidency race, saying Nigeria needs a Yoruba leader that has national focus and acceptability.
Receiving presidential aspirant Bola Tinubu in his Alarere residence in Ibadan, the traditional ruler noted Yoruba has contributed so much to the development of the country and deserves to rule.
Balogun, who spoke through his brother, Senator Kola Balogun (PDP-Oyo South), said that the situation in Nigeria currently called for a leader that would further strengthen its unity.
“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’s very sad to note that ‘to your tent, oh Israel’ has recently 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 will triumph,” he said.
