They said the rotational presidency had contributed to political stability, inclusiveness and national cohesion.
The monarchs also urged traditional rulers across the region to mobilise their subjects and encourage support for Tinubu’s re-election bid, and to prepare and sensitise youths in their domains to take advantage of potential employment and service opportunities that may emerge from the initiative.
They further pledged to strengthen engagement with traditional rulers in Northern Nigeria and other parts of the country to promote mutual understanding, peace and national integration.
