The Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rasheed Ladoja, on Monday said President Bola Tinubu deserves to remain Nigeria’s president for a “long, long time”.

Mr Ladoja advocated an indefinite Tinubu presidency on Monday at the flag-off ceremony for the dualisation of the Ibadan-Ijebu road. The ceremony was held on Monday in Oluyole council area of Oyo state.

“I’ve been hearing everybody talking APC, APC. Bola Tinubu is not an APC man, no. Bola Tinubu is working and deserves to be president for a long, long time,” Mr Ladoja said. “This is not an APC rally. It is a rally that we are here to thank Mr President for making this road project possible.”

Lauding Mr Tinubu’s administration for embarking on the road project, the monarch said, “Those of us in Ibadan know that the only area in Ibadan where terrorists have been kidnapping people is this road.”

Mr Tinubu, the Olubadan said, “deserves more than being an APC president. He’s not an APC president. He’s president of Nigeria”.

The monarch’s call for Mr Tinubu to remain president for a long time did not specify how many years. However, under the Nigerian Constitution, Mr Tinubu is eligible to serve no more than two four-year terms.
