Quoting a statement released by Oba Akanbi who spoke on behalf of other Kings, he said, “I must express my faith in Nigeria and its outstanding leaders, particularly President Muhammadu Buhari, whose dedication to democratic principles is restoring our faith.
My realistic view is that of all the accomplishments of His Excellency, President Buhari, this general election leaves the best legacy.”
