The Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi, has said that some Nigerians might eventually call for a change in the constitution to allow President Bola Tinubu remain in office beyond the usual two terms.
In a message marking Tinubu’s 74th birthday, the monarch described him as a strong and decisive leader who has started laying a solid foundation for the country’s progress.
According to him, Tinubu’s leadership and policies could make people want him to stay longer in office.
He praised the President’s efforts in tackling economic challenges, noting improvements such as a stronger naira, increased foreign reserves, and overall better economic indicators.
The Oluwo said these gains are a result of key reforms like exchange rate unification, increased oil production, and higher foreign investment.
He also commended Tinubu for steps like granting more autonomy to local governments, increasing funds to states, and pushing major infrastructure projects.
According to him, past leaders tried to make similar changes but backed down due to pressure, while Tinubu has shown the courage to take and stand by tough decisions.
He added that while the impact of these policies is already being felt, the next phase Nigerians should expect is greater stability.
