Naija News reports that the traditional ruler made the remarks following a closed-door meeting with the President at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Speaking to State House correspondents, Oba Ladoja identified insecurity as the country’s most pressing challenge, particularly affecting farmers and rural communities.
“The main problem we face now is insecurity. Farmers are finding it difficult to go to their farms, and the issue is spreading to the South as well. People are apprehensive about going about their daily businesses. I don’t think it is insurmountable. We believe the President is actively addressing it,” he said.
The former Oyo State governor said his visit was also to formally thank President Tinubu for his support since Oba Ladoja’s coronation in September 2025.
“Since my coronation, I have been looking for an opportunity to express my gratitude to the President for his support,” he noted.
On Tinubu’s leadership style, Oba Ladoja highlighted the President’s record in transforming Lagos State and expressed optimism that similar progress could be achieved nationwide.
“If you consider where he came from, it is clear he knows what he is doing. He transformed Lagos from what it was to what it became under his leadership,” the monarch said.
Acknowledging the complexities of governing Nigeria, Oba Ladoja said the economy is gradually improving and expressed hope that significant progress would be seen by the end of Tinubu’s tenure in 2031.
“Nigeria is more complex than a state because not everyone shares the same vision. States now have more resources than we did as governors and can better meet their obligations. The economy is being fixed, and we hope that by 2031, Nigeria will be in a place that makes all of us proud,” he added.

A heated political exchange has erupted within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential race, as camps backing former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s rivals push back against his claims of superior popularity, especially in the North.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Supporters of Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso rejected Atiku’s assertion that he remains the dominant northern vote-getter, insisting that such claims do not reflect today’s political realities.
The Kwankwasiyya Movement, aligned with a potential Obi-Kwankwaso ticket, dismissed Atiku’s influence in the North as largely elite-driven, arguing that Kwankwaso enjoys more genuine grassroots support.
Former Transportation Minister Rotimi Amaechi also reacted, faulting Atiku’s position and questioning the logic of relying solely on regional identity as a basis for presidential ambition.
Atiku, in a recent interview, had maintained that none of his northern rivals, including Kwankwaso, can match his electoral strength, while downplaying Kwankwaso’s influence beyond Kano State.
His remarks sparked criticism across political circles, with some opposition figures describing them as arrogant and dismissive of other contenders.
Kwankwaso’s camp, however, maintained that both Kwankwaso and Obi have more “organic” support bases compared to politically induced followership, warning that such comments could deepen divisions within the ADC coalition.
Amaechi also argued that the ADC presidential ticket should be determined through a competitive primary rather than consensus, insisting that all aspirants should be tested at the ballot.
The growing disagreement highlights rising tension within the opposition alliance ahead of the 2027 general elections, as key figures intensify positioning for the party’s presidential ticket.
