The President noted that the honour carries a responsibility that extends beyond personal recognition and reflects the enduring bonds of friendship, mutual respect and unity among Nigeria’s diverse peoples.

“As a father, I am pleased to see my son recognised by a traditional institution with such a distinguished history.
