Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo Ewuare II noted the divine nature of Tinubu's victory in the 2023 presidential poll, stating, "God ordained him to rule the country, hence the need for all Nigerians to support him to achieve the greater Nigeria of our dreams."

He continued “God has ordained that Tinubu would become President of Nigeria. We are all one. I am for peace and tranquillity. We must live together as one. Nigeria is big. We must iron out our differences and learn to live together as one, big family.”
