The Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi, on Sunday said many Nigerians might seek a constitutional amendment to allow President Bola Tinubu to remain in office beyond two terms.
The monarch, in a congratulatory message by his spokesperson, Ibrahim Alli, to celebrate Tinubu’s 74th birthday, described the President as a decisive leader who has laid a renewed foundation of hope for the country.
Oluwo said many Nigerians might call for a constitutional review to allow Tinubu to remain in office beyond two terms, describing him as a leader who understands governance and has a clear sense of direction.
Oluwo said the President had distinguished himself through what he described as a firm campaign against illegalities that had stalled the country’s economic growth.
He added that the President’s administrative prowess had driven notable gains, citing improvements in the naira, a rise in foreign reserves from about $1bn to between $49.5bn and $50.45bn as of late February/March 2026, and strengthened economic indices.
The monarch attributed the gains to structural reforms, including exchange rate unification, increased oil output and higher foreign investment inflows.
Oluwo also commended Tinubu for granting local government autonomy, increasing allocations to states, expanding road infrastructure and improving palliative distribution at the grassroots.
According to him, past leaders attempted similar economic reforms but were overwhelmed by public and political pressure.
He said only a capable leader could implement tough but necessary decisions to reposition the economy.
Oluwo added that the President’s policies had begun to impact the standard of living, noting that the next phase would be stability.
He said a leader only becomes truly capable by making firm decisions and standing by them, noting that many past presidents who attempted to remove obstacles to economic prosperity were overrun by public outcries, while Tinubu has demonstrated uncommon leadership through reforms.
He added that Nigeria’s foreign reserves have increased to over $49.5bn from about $1bn, while local government autonomy is taking effect, states are earning more, and major road projects, including the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road and Sokoto-Badagry Road, are ongoing.
