The Olubadan-Elect Senator Lekan Balogun has not and will not endorse any aspirant or political party in the forthcoming elections.

The insinuation of endorsement of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu after his recent visit to the Olubadan-elect is not true.

Speaking after the recent visit of All Progressives Congress(APC) presidential aspirant Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to the Olubadan-elect, the Olori, Ambassador Joyce Anene Balogun, told journalists that she has received several calls that the Olubadan-elect has endorsed Tinubu.

According to her: “I like our people to know that there was no such thing.”

Asiwaju Tinubu’s visit, she said, “was purely a congratulatory visit to my husband, a normal courtesy visit notable people make to one another.

“We highly appreciate this and thank Asiwaju Bola Tinubu for coming to assure the Oludan-elect that the people of Nigeria appreciate him for what he has done for the nation and the people of Ibadan especially.

“However, the visit of Asiwaju, or of any politician at all, should not be construed as an endorsement of contestants or political parties.

“The Olubadan-elect is non-partisan. As the father of the people of Ibadan and the nation, he would not be one sided. All that the Olubadan-elect did was to pray for Tinubu and asked that every politician coming out to contest for elective offices in the future should think about the people and how to improve their lives.”

This, the Olori said, “is the passion of my husband. He loves the people, desires to improve their lives and make them more comfortable. He also talked about the youths and wants them to feel they are a part of the country and give their best to the country.

“These are what the Olubadan-elect said. I was there. There was nothing like endorsing anybody or a political party. My husband doesn’t care who gets there.

“He wants the right person in power and him to be conscious of the needs of the masses, the youths and the aged. He wants the best for the nation,” she said.

Fair enough. But when it’s time for showdown we know how it will go.

Ambassador Joyce Anene Balogun
Hmmm.It is well.

I hope they are not out to drag her into obscene politics of bigoted tribesmen. I have never read of this kind of stuff from any Olori from the SW.

Kabiesi speaks and his wife, not even the High Chiefs running the city with him, will publicly counter him? Ori bakan and unprecedented to me.

Kabiesi did the right thing by endorsing Asiwaju Tinubu. That is what was televised and heard by everyone

Lobatan!

But to be fair, Makinde is the governor in Oyo and Olubadan is newly installed so they will need to just do this for the optics.

But that one no concern Alaafin tho.

She is just being diplomatic as expected by a Queen, who is mother to both Ibadan APC and PDP, Christian and Muslim, Traditionalist and Athiest


But know one thing for sure King Lekan Balogun and Bola Ahmed Tinubu both belong to SDP of the 90s after Oba Lekan Balogun lost the primaries to MKO he supported MKO without hate...

Oba Lekan Balogun is part of NADECO that fought for Democracy with Tinubu,

Oba is also one of the closest ally of late Abiola Ajimobi

Alafins throne and that of Ooni are spiritual thrones... They are bloodline and descendants of Yoruba Diety and gods

Olubadan's throne is more Political and throne of warriors.. so he must be more diplomatic than Alafin or Ooni

Why do Tinubu urchins continue to cause bring more shame on their Jagaban?

First, they claimed Soyinka endorsed Tinubu, Soyinka debunked it and warned that nobody should mention his name in same article with Tinubu.

Second, they claimed Akinwunmi Adesina of AfDB endorsed the urinating drug lord but Adesina denied he ever committed such atrocious act.

Then they landed on the side of Miyetti Allah rejoicing that the terrorist endorsed Tinubu but even those ones two dissociated themselves from such disservice to the Nigerian nation.

Now, they took the madness to the Olubadan-elect who is yet to even sit on his stool trying to impose a lie on the poor old man. I’m not surprised he has come out to debunk such evil act.

Now the question is, “who is really supporting Tinubu gan gan”?

Because me I no understand why nobody wants to touch him even with a long pole or for his name to be associated with his ambition.

Chai! Tinubu urchins make una wake up naaaaaaah!

Nobody is gonna buy this merchandise you are trying to market.

Why can't Shuckudi mind his Lacasera and Galla business this hot afternoon

God in his infinite wisdom seperated Yoruba kingdom and Mkpuru Mniri region with River Niger, Delta State and Edo State... We are thousands of kilometres away...

Tinubu never for once governed Mkpuru Mniri region directly or indirectly, so he owes you nothing

Olubadan elect don't want to be seen to associate with someone that vowed to fight dirty like a pig

Tinubu ambition is shrinking into a Yoruba affair

Bravo!
Kade o pe lori o, Kabiyesi. You have proven yourself to be a man of honour.
Traditional leaders should be apolitical.

It's shameful that Alaafin allowed the allure of lucre from the Bullion Van-deploying thief bring his name and stool to disrepute.

VERY GOOD YOUR ROYAL MAJESTY. ADVISE AND PRAY FOR THEM. THAT'S ALL THAT'S REQUIRED OF YOU. MAY OLODUMARE BLESS AND PRESERVE YOU.

Tinubu and his useless and foolish urchins will never stop disgracing themselves

Just imagine how low they could go to sell the unsellable
Shameful

They've made mockery of themselves and the useless man they campaigning for

I will say this again, no sane person will campaign for Tinubu and pissy pissy for body corrupt man like Tinubu

If you don't support Tinubu, his useless urchins will abuse you and call you Igbo

I told everyone here that Tinubu is not loved in Yoruba land like his useless supporters made it look and the truth of what I said has been proven right many times . First it was wole soyinka denouncing Tinubu, Aregbesola did same and now these .
Tinubu will never ever be president

And for daring Buhari to a dirty fight, Tinubu should be suspended from APC immediately , he has brought so much shame to the ruling party.

I think the new king should caution his wife this is the first time I will be hearing olori voice in the public .I wonder when his olori turn to chief press of palace.

Caution her for toeing the path of nobility by staying apolitical?
...and praise the Alatenuje Alaafin who has soiled his name and stool by endorsing Tinubu, right?

Alafin you called alatenuje you are bringing curse on your household who are you ? Do you see more than Alafin do you know more than him this reverend king is more than you in all ramification.

And for the olori again she is not in right position to say anything especially in palace issues like this.
