Oba Rilwan Babatunde Osuolale Aremu Akiolu
1st of Lagos, also known as the Eleko of Eko
said he has not endorsed any presidential
candidate ahead of the elections scheduled for
March 28.
Akiolu, who was reacting to speculations that
he has endorsed Muhammadu Buhari, the
candidate of the All Progressives Congress
(APC), described the reports as false.
The monarch stated this on Thursday, during
an interview at the Naval Dockyard, Victoria
Island, Lagos, while attending the
commissioning of four Nigerian Navy ships by
President Goodluck Jonathan, The Nation
reports.
“Who gave you that rumour? Who said so?
Some of the things they are writing, like that
former Minister Obanikoro, I went to his aged
mother that they should warn him seriously.
For the presidency, I support the best person.

“If I want to do something I do not pretend,
God almighty Allah will give the presidency to
the people Nigerians want to do the best for
this country,” he said.
Akiolu however said he was supporting the
APC governorship candidate in Lagos,
Akinwumi Ambode.
He said: “I have my reason for saying it and I
do not hide it. I acted on God’s wisdom and
picked Akinwunmi Ambode and by the grace of
God, he will be the governor of this state .”

About two weeks back, Akiolu had said
Jonathan should not be blamed for the many
problems of Nigeria as they were already there
before he came into power.
