The monarch made the plea on Tuesday, July 16, while playing host to the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Senator Oluremi Tinubu, at his Iga Idugaran palace in Lagos.
In a statement issued by Busola Kukoyi, the senior special assistant on media to the First Lady, the monarch noted that President Tinubu means well for the nation and he is a man who is grassroots-focused.
