Speaking at the meeting, SWAGA’23 National Chairman, Senator Dayo Adeyeye, commended the traditional rulers for backing Tinubu.
He said: “It is widely known that Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s philanthropic gestures is second to none. He equally fought for Nigeria’s democracy and performed brilliantly as a governor.
