Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo, has called on Nigerians to support President Bola Tinubu for a better nation.
The Governor made an assertion when the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi visited him at the Governor’s Lodge, Amawbia, Awka the state capital.
He noted that now that a President had been elected, Nigerians owe him a duty to support him, saying that the traditional institution, being a stable entity, is the needed building block to help salvage the nation.
The Governor further stated that the institution provides the balancing force for the country, especially if everyone bonds together, noting that there is an increased need for more national leaders who see everyone as one people and the country as one entity, to ensure stability for the nation.
Receiving the Monarch, Governor Soludo said that the likes of the Ooni is needed for national healing in this critical challenging time of Nigeria’s nationhood.
The Governor described him as the most traveled king and encouraged him to keep being the bridge builder.
On his part, the Ooni described Governor Soludo as a true Nigerian.
According to the Monarch, Governor Soludo has tried to live his life as a true Nigerian ambassador, representing the country in both character and attire.
The Ooni eulogised the glorious days of Governor Soludo at the Central Bank of Nigeria which eventually gave rise to the consolidation of banks in the country.
He encouraged the Governor to continue his selfless service to Anambra State in particular and Nigeria at large.
The Ooni, who had some kings in his entourage later presented a symbolic gift of bronze carving to the Governor, which had the image of a hunter, standing on the rock.
