Ever wondered how the Kingdom where President Bola Tinubu got his popular title – Jagaban Borgu – is faring?

In this episode of the Mic On Podcast, Seun Okinbaloye sits down with Murtala Haliru Dantoro, Prince of the Borgu Royal Family and son of the late Emir, Senator Haliru Dantoro Kitoro III.

Dantoro reflects on his father’s close bond with President Bola Tinubu, the historic roots of the Jagaban title, and the evolving realities of the Borgu Kingdom today. He speaks candidly about the growing security challenges in the region, the limitations of local government in tackling insecurity, and why he believes stronger federal intervention, including a visible military presence, is critical to safeguarding lives and communities.

On national politics and the road to 2027, he shares his perspective on the shifting landscape, the potential strength of an opposition coalition, and why an Atiku–Obi ticket could reshape the contest against APC dominance, if regional dynamics are properly understood.
