LAGOS 2015

Oba Rilwan Akiolu - I have asked God to bless APC’s Ambode, Oba of Lagos tells Jonathan

The monarch of Nigeria’s commercial capital of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, on Thursday told President Goodluck Jonathan that he had already submitted the name of the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Akinwunmi Ambode for the blessing of God.

The Oba, who had publicly endorsed Ambode for the position last year, said that he had presented Ambode’s candidature for God’s blessing at the 2014 Hajj in Saudi Arabia.

Oba Akiolu said this when President Goodluck Jonathan and his team visited him at his palace. Jonathan was in Lagos to flag off his re-election campaign as the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party.

But Akiolu had soothing words for Jonathan.

He said notwithstanding his beseeching God to make Ambode governor of the state, God would always have the final say.

According to him, both Ambode and the PDP candidate, Jimi Agbaje are his children.

The monarch also defended President Jonathan against the criticisms against him by opposition politicians.

To Oba Akiolu, President Jonathan should not be held responsible for the problems of Nigeria.

Akiolu said that many of the problems in the country predated the Jonathan administration, adding
that fighting corruption is the responsibility of every Nigerian.

“What will be, will be; God Almighty will give the best person the opportunity to lead this country.

Mr President, God knows the best; I am happy; what I want are free and fair elections.

“I am happy that Mr President directed INEC to ensure that voters’ cards are distributed to every eligible member of the electorate,’’ he said.

He urged the INEC to ensure distribution of voters’ cards, saying that Lagos had more than six million eligible voters.

The royal father urged that security agents should not be unfairly used against any citizen during the general elections.

Akiolu accused former President Olusegun Obasanjo of not treating Lagos well during his administration and leaving many problems unsolved in the country.

Earlier, Jonathan said that he came to the palace to pay homage to the royal father and sought his prayers. — with Sunday Dare and Odunmbaku Cardinal Baba Eto.

The elders are wise

Being Neutral is important!

The voice of the people is the voice of God.

Ambode is the voice of the people.....

APC propaganda


No Oba will make such comment even if he has blessed APC.

Most people supporting GEJ are doing so simply becos he's a christian and southerner/ "power must no go back to the north bandwagon", and so they neglect his incompetence in performing his duties as the PRESIDENT and one who fails to take responsibilities rather he blames opposition. When he was elected first he removed fuel subsidy and promised heaven and earth but till now we've not seen its usefulness. Woe to u GEJ and Lady shrek

jimi agbaje lost the sympathy when he misfired by saying he'd lead lagos like kogi, niger, ebonyi etc, on the day he was handed the flag at that rally.
