Former Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai, has called for more recognition for traditional rulers in the the country.
Buratai said such recognition was necessary given the positive roles they are playing in the society.
He made the remarks at the investiture ceremony of Oba Hameed Oyelude, the Olowu of Kuta in Osun, as Life Patron of the Nigeria Union of Journalists NUJ, Osun Broadcasting Corporation Chapel, in Osogbo.
He said such recognition for traditional rulers would enhance more understanding, peace and security in the country.
Buratai, who is the Nigeria’s Ambassador to Republic of Benin, was represented at the event by Kukasheka Usman.
He described as “unquantifiable” the patriotism and kind disposition of Oba Oyelude to the military and security agencies in Nigeria.
