President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Sunday, played host to a foremost traditional ruler, Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona Ogbagba II , at his residence in Lagos.

Naija News reports the traditional ruler paid a New Year homage to the President at his residence.

Though details of discussions between the two leaders are yet to be made public, presidential media aide, Dada Olusegun, shared pictures of them having a jolly conversation.

Sharing the pictures, he wrote: “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Received The Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona Ogbagba II , at his residence in Lagos today.”

Naija News recalls that in May 2024, President Tinubu had described Oba Adetona as a friend. Tinubu said he had always enjoyed the trust, friendship and confidence of the Kabiyesi.

The President had conferred the second-highest national honour in the country, Grand Commander of Order of Nigeria (GCON), on the Awujale and paramount ruler of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Adetona.

This was disclosed during the 90th birthday ceremony of the traditional ruler held at the Oba Sikiru Adetona School of Governance, Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State.

The President, who was represented at the event by Vice President Kashim Shettima, said the award is in recognition of the immeasurable and invaluable contributions of the monarch to national development.

He also announced that the National Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies, Kuru, Jos, has been directed to take over the management of Oba Sikiru Adetona School of Governance, which the royal father bequeathed to the university.

The President described Awujale as an extraordinary royal father and hero of Nigeria’s democracy who is adored all over the country for his sincerity of purpose and courage in the face of any adversity threatening national development.
