Meanwhile, the Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdulrosheed Akabi, on Thursday, described President Bola Tinubu as a rare and transformative leader. Akanbi likened the President’s administration to that of historical figures like Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States.
Further, Akanbi commented that the President has been able to implement certain policies in the country’s interest because of his political autonomy.
