Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi, has stated that recent economic and governance reforms under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu could prompt many Nigerians to beg him for more than two terms.<\/p>\n

The monarch made the remarks in a statement issued through his spokesperson, Alli Ibrahim, to commemorate President Bola Tinubu\u2019s 74th birthday, where he assessed the administration\u2019s policies and their perceived impact on the country.<\/p>\n

According to the statement, \u201cthe President\u2019s leadership style and reform-driven agenda have begun to reshape key sectors of the economy, drawing attention from various quarters across the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany Nigerians may call for a constitutional review to enable Tinubu serve more than two terms in office,\u201d the monarch said.<\/p>\n

The Oluwo described the President as a decisive leader, noting that his administration had pursued policies aimed at addressing longstanding structural challenges within the Nigerian economy.<\/p>\n

He pointed to measures such as exchange rate unification and increased oil production as part of broader reforms designed to stabilise the economy and attract foreign investment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe administration has demonstrated a firm approach in tackling issues that previously hindered economic growth. Such steps had contributed to changes in key financial indicators,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The monarch stated that Nigeria\u2019s foreign reserves had risen significantly in recent months, noting figures ranging between $49.5 billion and $50.45 billion as of late February and March 2026.<\/p>\n

He also referenced what he described as improvements in the value of the naira and increased inflows of foreign capital, attributing these developments to ongoing economic restructuring efforts.<\/p>\n

He highlighted initiatives such as local government autonomy, increased allocations to states, and infrastructure projects as part of the administration\u2019s broader policy framework.<\/p>\n

\u201cLocal government autonomy is taking effect, states are receiving higher allocations, and major road projects are ongoing across the country,\u201d the monarch said.<\/p>\n

The traditional ruler noted that previous administrations had attempted similar reforms but were constrained by public resistance and political pressures, which limited their implementation.<\/p>\n

He added that the current administration\u2019s willingness to sustain its policies could influence future economic stability, stating that consistent implementation would be key to maintaining progress.<\/p>\n
