Tinubu Receives Royal Blessing From Oba Of Lagos During Lagos Island Visit

President Bola Tinubu visited the Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, at the Iga Idunganran Palace on Lagos Island on Sunday, in a stop that drew crowds of supporters and residents along the route.

Members of the royal household and well-wishers, including All Progressives Congress (APC) supporters, lined the streets around Marina and Isale Eko as the presidential convoy made its way to the palace, creating a festive mood across parts of the island.

At the palace, Oba Akiolu prayed for the President, his government and the country, and offered counsel on national issues and citizen welfare — a reminder of how traditional institutions continue to engage directly with the federal government on matters affecting ordinary Nigerians.
