- The monarch urged other leaders to follow Governor Soludo’s example in fostering national unity and cohesion
The Oluwo of Iwo land, Oba Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi, praised Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo for appointing Mr. Adebayo Oyeyinka, a Yoruba man, as a permanent secretary.
The Oluwo, in a statement through his press secretary on Monday, commended Governor Soludo’s inclusive and unifying approach, describing him as an enlightened and impartial Nigerian leader.
The monarch urged other leaders to follow Governor Soludo’s example in fostering national unity and cohesion.
He asked the federal government to allow Nigerians, irrespective of their tribes, to use the certificate of origin of wherever they reside, saying that would “cement our togetherness.”
He stated: “I’m impressed with the appointment of a Yoruba man, Mr. Adebayo Oyeyinka, as Permanent Secretary at the Anambra State civil service. The governor of Anambra State, Prod. Chukwuma Soludo, has demonstrated his exposure and convinced us to be a detribalized Nigerian leader.”
“He has made a remarkable history similar to Lagos State when the current President Ahmed Tinubu was the governor of the state. Only an exposed leader who values and celebrates meritocracy does that. This steps is a further assurance of a better Nigeria.”
