2023: Yoruba big mornachs endorse Tinubu, tip him to be greater than Awolowo

 A bid by the national leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, got another boost as more prominent Yoruba monarchs endorsed the aspiration.

The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi and Ataoja of Osogbo, Oba Jimoh Olanipekun, described him as someone who is prepared for any task.

Both monarchs spoke when South West Agenda, SWAGA, a pro-Tinubu for president movement visited them separately in Ife and Osogbo respectively.

Ooni Ogunwusi, who explained that the reported ambition of the former Lagos state governor is a good signal for the Yoruba race, said that such a lofty dream could only be realized through unity.

This was just as he urged politicians promoting Asiwaju to deploy wisdom and avoid arbitrary use of power.

According to Makinde, “Asiwaju Tinubu is a very great descendant of Oduduwa. He’s such a unique Yoruba son and we are always proud of him. He is popular and known for uprightness.

“But first, I want to challenge all politicians here this afternoon to first go and work on yourselves, you must be United if you are indeed for the Yoruba race. It is you people that form political parties, change from one party to another among other things.

Earlier, Oba Olanipekun commended Tinubu for his ability to empower people who are around him, saying that it was time for Asiwaju to contest.

According to the Oluwo of Iwo kingdom, he said "who else has that capacity to run for 2023 poll in Southwest. we should all push him to be greater than Awolowo so that his legacy could go on."
