The Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi, has suggested that some Nigerians could push for a constitutional amendment to enable President Bola Tinubu seek a third term in office.
The monarch made the remark in a congratulatory message issued through his spokesperson, Ibrahim Alli, to mark Tinubu’s 74th birthday, describing the president as a decisive leader who has laid a new foundation of hope for the country.
“Many Nigerians may beg for a constitutional review for Tinubu to spend more than two terms in office. He is a leader who knows what he is doing,” he said.
Oluwo praised Tinubu’s leadership style, noting that his administration has taken a firm stance against practices that previously hindered economic growth.
He also pointed to what he described as measurable economic improvements under the current government.
According to him, gains include a stronger naira, an increase in foreign reserves from about $1bn to between $49.5bn and $50.45bn as of late February/March 2026, as well as improved economic indicators.
The monarch attributed these developments to key policy reforms such as exchange rate unification, higher oil production, and increased foreign investment inflows.
