Wike explained that the vehicles would recognise traditional rulers’ contributions to peace, cultural preservation and community development.

“Mr President has said that you cannot just answer royal fathers by mouth. You cannot just answer royal fathers by entering Keke Napep. You cannot answer royal fathers by entering Okada. That all of you, by the grace of God, before December, you will go with your SUV cars.”

The minister also announced Tinubu’s approval of four buses for FCT youths.

Meanwhile, stakeholders at the rally endorsed Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid alongside three National Assembly candidates.
