Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, on Tuesday, expressed concerns over the growing trend of state governments interfering with the traditional stool enthronement process.
He made this call via a statement issued on his X handle, emphasizing the importance of protecting traditional institutions from state government arbitrariness, ensuring their stability and recognizing their role in maintaining peace, security, and economic development in their domains.
Atiku acknowledged that while the current constitution does not recognize traditional institutions, they have played a significant role in governance before colonialism and continue to do so.
