Tinubu Shettima Divine Mandate Initiative (TSDMI) 2023, a distinguished Support Group committed to promoting the candidature of Tinubu & Shettima and upholding justice, democracy, and human rights in Nigeria, urgently calls upon President Ahmed Bola Tinubu and the Nigerian Police to immediately release our esteemed Grand Patron, Ambassador Dr. Otunba Adejare Adegbenro, who has been unlawfully detained since April 26, 2024.

Ambassador Dr. Otunba Adejare Adegbenro, an Illustrious son of Ogun State, Nigeria, a respected diplomat and an advocate for peace, security and progress, has been unjustly deprived of his freedom for far too long. His detention violates not only his fundamental human rights but also flagrantly disregards the principles outlined in the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of which Nigeria is a signatory to.

The Tinubu Shettima Divine Mandate Initiative (TSDMI) 2023 strongly condemns this blatant violation of Ambassador Dr. Adegbenro’s rights and calls for his immediate and unconditional release. As our Grand Patron, he has tirelessly dedicated himself to the agenda of Mr. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and to the service of our nation, fostering international cooperation and advancing Nigeria’s interests on the global stage.

It is imperative that President Ahmed Bola Tinubu and the Nigerian Police uphold the rule of law and adhere to international protocols by releasing Ambassador Dr. Adegbenro without further delay. Justice must prevail, and the rights of every Nigerian citizen, especially distinguished diplomats like Ambassador Dr. Adegbenro, must be protected at all costs.

TSDMI stands in solidarity with Ambassador Dr. Otunba Adejare Adegbenro and his family during this challenging time. We urge all stakeholders, both domestic and international, to join us in demanding his immediate release and ensuring that justice is served. We would hold the Nigeria Police responsible should anything bad happen to our Grand Patron.
