The traditional rulers present at the meeting acknowledged Tinubu’s solid democratic credentials and unwavering commitment to the entrenchment of democracy in Nigeria.

In a communique issued at the end of the meeting and signed by the Director General of Conscience of Yoruba Nation, Abagun Kole Omololu, the royal fathers pledged their support for the success of the elections.

They urged the people to exercise their civic duties peacefully to engender a desired change in the country.

The monarchs, therefore, affirmed the preeminent qualification of Tinubu for the highest office in Nigeria.

They also affirmed their faith and support for Nigeria’s unity, peace, prosperity and progress and pledged to support the democratic process based on free choices according to universal adult suffrage freely exercised by the people.

Meanwhile, the monarchs expressed concern about the recent hardship suffered by the people due to perennial fuel scarcity and the naira redesign policy.

They called for “more humane handling of these challenges to free the people from high- handedness, poverty and want.”

“To this end, the traditional rulers appealed to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the security agencies and other institutions involved in the general elections to support and uphold the right of every Nigerian to freely cast their vote without fear or hindrance to guarantee the sanctity of the electoral process,” the communique read.

Meanwhile, Tinubu has finally endorsed that candidature of the party’s gubernatorial candidate, Senator Teslim Folarin.

It will be recalled that after the governorship primary, which Senator Folarin emerged the Oyo state candidate of the APC, Tinubu told him, he should go and appeal to the aggrieved members before he would come back and endorse him.

But on Thursday, when Tinubu came to Ibadan, the Oyo state capital for presidential campaign rally, he finally raised the hand of Senator Folarin and handed over the party’s flag to him at the ancient Mapo Hall.

Tinubu was accompanied by the former governor of Osun State, Chief Bisi Akande, Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Sunday Dare, Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State, Speaker of Federal House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, former Speaker House of Representatives, Dimeji Bankole.
