(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – The Olubadan of Ibadan designate, Dr Lekan Balogun, says Nigeria needs a strong leader that will further strengthen its unity comes 2023.

He made this statement on Sunday in Ibadan while receiving Bola Tinubu, a Presidential Aspirant and National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in his Alarere residence.

Tinubu, a former Governor of Lagos State, had visited the traditional ruler to seek his blessings and support of Ibadan people on his presidential ambition.

Balogun, who spoke through his brother, Sen. Kola Balogun (PDP-Oyo South), said that the situation in the country currently, called for a leader that would further strengthen its unity.

The Olubadan designate said that he had known Tinubu for a long time and his antecedents as the governor who laid the foundation of the present Lagos.

“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 comes 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.
