Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State says the exit of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar will not have any setback for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.<\/p>\n

Membership of the PDP in Adamawa State.<\/p>\n

Makinde, who was the keynote Speaker at a Colloquium of the 10th Coronation Anniversary of Oba Aladetoyinbo Aladelusi, Deji of Akure, stated this in an interview with newsmen.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think that will make any dent on PDP as a party. PDP is an institution and you have freedom of entrance and exit,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The governor said he did not see the African Democratic Congress, ADC, as a threat to PDP but as a mere political party intended to contest in elections as PDP.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Makinde described traditional institution as a heritage of the country, asking for government to give it due reverence for nation development.<\/p>\n

The title of the lecture was: \u201cThe Role of Nigeria\u2019s Traditional Institutions in Nation Building: Impediments, Impacts, and Prospects.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said that traditional institutions are not relics of the past but enduring pillars of identity, legitimacy, and communal cohesion.<\/p>\n

\u201cLong before Nigeria\u2019s formal administrative systems took root, traditional rulers dispensed justice, upheld values, coordinated local security, and kept communities united.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, they remain custodians of grassroots trust. And nation-building that ignores them does so at its peril.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo wonder politicians continue to seek their blessings and validation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

According to him, strengthening traditional institutions is not simply about cultural preservation but it is strategic governance.<\/p>\n

He stated that his government had made deliberate steps to integrate traditional institution into the governance architecture, which resulted into great success in Oyo State.<\/p>\n

The governor stated that nation-building was not about how much oil the country produced but about the strength of institutions, their ability to serve the people justly, and the legacy they leave behind.<\/p>\n

Appreciating the governor, Oba Aladelusi said that traditional institution had pivotal role to play in nation building hence the need for the country\u2019s constitution to strengthen it.<\/p>\n

The traditional ruler, who said that Akure is one without any division, commended the state government, sons and daughters of the town for their support to the Deji palace.<\/p>\n
