Tinubu Gives Mini-Buses, Cash To Monarchs

The lawmaker representing Lagos Central Senatorial District, Mrs Oluremi Tinubu, yesterday gave 25 mini-buses and N50,000 to 25 traditional rulers.

Represented by the Chairman of Lagos State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), Wahab Alawiye-King, she said the role of the traditional institution was crucial to the growth and development of the nation.

Mrs Tinubu urged them to preach peaceful coexistence to their subjects, to ensure unity and stability of the country.

She said the gesture was part of support to facilitate smooth running of their activities in their domains.

Mrs Tinubu said the materials would not only ensure a consistent source of income, but would also create jobs, as some of them would employ drivers.

“We expect to take delivery of another 15 mini-buses in the coming weeks. We are working to ensure prompt delivery to the beneficiaries. This will leave us with a small number of pending beneficiaries. I, therefore, appeal to those who are unable to be empowered in this batch to be patient. We are hopeful that we will complete the distribution soon,” Tinubu said.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) leader in the district, Prince Tajudeen Olusi, said Sen. Tinubu held the traditional institution in high esteem, adding that that was why she facilitated the buses, to support the running of the affairs in their palaces.

Lagos State Chairman of the APC, Cornelius Ojelabi, urged the traditional rulers to ensure that their subjects take advantage of the ongoing registration to get their permanent voter cards (PVCs).

Speaking on behalf of the beneficiaries, the Baale of Gedegede in Ibeju Lekki, Ayodeji Abiodun, thanked Sen. Tinubu for finding them worthy of support.

He promised that they would work with the government to maintain law and order.
