The Royal father in Remo Division of Ogun State on Sunday promised to support what they called the Southwest Agenda in 2023.

The monarchs also promised to support Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s bid for a higher service to the motherland, if he seeks their backing.

The Akarigbo and paramount ruler of Remo land, Oba Babatunde Ajayi, called for unity in Yoruba land, saying there is strength in unity and cohesion.

The monarch spoke during the visit of members of the Southwest Agenda for Senator Bola Tinubu (SWAGA) at his palace.

He described the 2023 presidential ambition of Asiwaju Tinubu as a cause for stakeholders in Southwest, urging them to gird their loins.

Oba Ajayi said: “As far as Remo land is concerned, Asiwaju Tinubu’s cause is our cause. His agenda is our agenda. It is a matter of must. We will support Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu towards realising his ambition.”

With the paramount ruler were Oba Adewale Osiberu, Elepe of Epe-Sagamu; Oba Sikiru Ajibowu Adeyiga, Onirolu of Irolu-Remo; and Oba Mufutau Sanni, Aminisan of Oko-Sagamu.

They prayed that the former Lagos State governor’s dream for Nigeria will become a reality.

SWAGA leader Senator Dayo Adeyeye expressed appreciation to the monarchs for the warm reception.

He explained the mode of operation of the group, describing it as a strictly voluntary and self-financing body, with the objective of convincing Tinubu to contesting for president in 2023.

The Commander, U.S. Africa Command, U General Stephen Townsend, wrapped up a three-day West African visit February 22-25, 2021, with a stopover in Nigeria to meet with the nation’s leaders and further the long-standing partnership and security cooperation between the two countries.

A press statement by the Embassy on Friday, said: “During the visit, Townsend met with the Nigerian President’s Chief of Staff, Ibrahim Gambari, and National Security Adviser, Babagan Monguno, to discuss regional security issues and to express the command’s gratitude for the assistance provided during a hostage rescue operation last year.

“When we asked for their help, the Nigerian government answered the call. Our hostage recovery mission in October would have been impossible without their support.

“They quickly provided assistance that helped the U.S. military to save an American life. That is a strong example of our partnership with Nigeria.”

Townsend also met with senior military officials, including the Minister of Defence, Bashir Salihi Magash, and the Chief of Defence Staff, General Leo Irabor, to talk about on-going cooperation in the region and greater maritime security and threat mitigation.

Nigeria is a key partner in countering violent extremist organizations throughout the Lake Chad Basin.

Townsend said furthermore: “The bilateral relationship between Nigeria and the U.S. is built on several pillars including security cooperation.

“U.S. Africa Command will do our part to advance the security cooperation pillar, so that Nigerians can enjoy the more secure future they all deserve.”

As close partners, the U.S. and Nigeria have worked at ensuring the collaborative relationship continues to grow to include a commitment to interoperability. Nigeria purchased 12 A-29 Super Tucano light attack aircraft, which will be delivered later this year.

“Nigeria’s purchase of A-29 Super Tucano aircraft is another example of their commitment to interoperability and security in the region,” he added. “Our economic relationship with Nigeria is already strong, and we look forward to the continued strengthening of security relationships. Nigeria’s leaders understand the importance of a collaborative approach to ensuring stability in West Africa and partnering on areas of mutual interest.”

The Commander also met with the U.S. Ambassador to Nigeria, Mary Beth Leonard.

Leonard said: “General Townsend’s visit to Nigeria demonstrates the strategic importance the United States places on our bilateral relationship with Nigeria.

“Our security cooperation partnership with Nigeria’s military will strengthen the country’s capabilities to secure land and sea borders, enhance overall security, and combat terrorism in the North East.”

As part of the visit, Townsend participated in a wreath-laying ceremony at the Nigeria Military National Cemetery to honour those who have given their lives in the service of their nation.

During the visit, the delegation expressed their condolences for the seven service men killed in the crash of a Nigerian Air Force aircraft in Abuja.
