Findings revealed that most Lagos indigenes were indignant at the choice of the new Iyalode of Lagos because the title was an exclusive preserve of true Lagos indigenes, and one that should be conferred on women who have impacted positively on the state. Alhaja Bintu, the new Iyalode is however, a native of Benin city, Edo state, but she was married to Wale Tinubu’s father, Kafaru, for over 45 years before his death in 2003. But they have since accepted Alhaja Bintu’s leadership as the new Iyalode of Lagos. Pundits aver that she won them over by her humility, compassion and constant readiness to always help the needy.
