2019: Oba of Lagos endorses Buhari, Ambode, Obasa

-


The Oba of Lagos, His Royal Majesty Rilwan Osuolale Akiolu, has urged Nigerians, particularly Lagosians, to ensure the re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari, Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode and the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa in the 2019 general elections.

Speaking yesterday at his palace when the Conference of Speakers of State Legislatures in the country paid him a courtesy visit in the course of their quarterly meeting in Lagos, the first class monarch said Buhari, Ambode and Obasa have performed excellently well in the course of their duties.

He said: “They have done well. And going by their performances during the few years that they have been at the helm of affairs in their respective leadership positions, they have shown to all and sundry that they can do more if given the opportunity again.”

The Lagos monarch further advised politicians to work for the interest and welfare of Nigerians, adding that: “Politicians can only do this by settling their differences amicably.

Politics is characterised by alignment and re-alignment of personnel but in doing this, politicians should not take actions or make utterances that can heat up the polity. “We should ensure that we live in peace and harmony   and that’s when the country can grow and develop. Through this, Nigerians will enjoy real dividends of democracy.”

The Speaker of the Kebbi State House of Assembly and Chairman of the Conference of Speakers, Rt. Hon. Ismaila Kamba, described Oba Akiolu as a man of honour and integrity. “As a policeman, I know you as an upright man and as a traditional ruler; you are still on   the path of truth and justice. I admire your courage and I thank you for taking time to host us,” he said.

The host Speaker, Obasa described Oba Akiolu as a supporter of truth and an agitator for justice. “He has been a pillar of support for us. He has always stood by us and we have been drinking positively from his fountain of knowledge and wisdom,” Obasa said.

Chief Olusegun Obasanjo was asked to tell  Nigerians what he did with 16 billion dollar on electricity power. The chief, a PhD holder asked Nigerians to read his book. Smart old man. Assuming there are a minimum of  50 million Nigerians that can avoid to buy and read his book at minimum cost of 1000 Naira, the old man would have raked in 50x10 to power 9 Naira or 50 billion Naira. Smart old business man. Can you imagine the insult to Nigerian Nation. A man who cannot give small stewardship can now be a judge of another man who stewardship is opened and clear!  Monafiki Agbalagba!
