Tinubi's Reaction To Oba Rilwan Akiolu's Statement. by BANKYBOI: 6:26am On Apr 08, 2015
A former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has said the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, is not a member of the All Progressives Congress and cannot speak on behalf of the party.

Tinubu said this at a rally in Iganmu, Lagos, while reacting to the controversial comments of the monarch on Tuesday.

The APC National Leader, who noted that he was the first Yoruba governor to ever appoint an Igbo commissioner; (BEN AKABUEZE), said the Peoples Democratic Party, having failed to win last week’s presidential elections, were desperately trying to pull the APC into the Akiolu controversy.

He said the Coordinator of the Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria, Ifeanyi Ubah, and the PDP leader, Bode George, were only making baseless accusations against the APC.

Tinubu said, “The oba is not a politician. His job is to accommodate all political parties, whether PDP, APC or SDP. So, what did he (Ubah) go and do at the palace?

“To you Igbos, don’t we pay your children’s school fees like others? Or is it the palace that pays for it? When we conducted an exam and a spelling competition, an Igbo boy, Ebuka, from Anambra, came first and he became the governor for one day.

“Those that won the competition three times in a row were Igbo. Ebuka was sent to Switzerland computer school and then Obafemi Awolowo University. We did not say he was an Igbo boy and he would not enjoy. He became an executive in Oando and he is now in Canada.

“Another boy, Felix, won and went to Switzerland and OAU. We paid his scholarship; we did not deny him because he is Igbo.”
Let's put aside all tribal sentiments and vote for continuity of good governance in Lagos State. Vote APC.

Feel free to share this if you believe in continuity of good governance.


VOTE AKINWUNMI AMBODE.
VOTE APC.

I agree with everything Jagaban has said.

The APC government has made efforts to carry other ethnic tribes along in a peaceful manner.

I think the Oba's gaffe should be put aside and Igbos should however vote the candidate of their choice.

I agree with Tinubu's statement. There are actually no ethnic differences in Lagos State. Lagos Is home to all. People shouldn't be incited by the Oba's unwise comments, and still go out on April 11 to vote Akinwunmi Ambode as Governor of Lagos State.

Asking JK to rule Lagos is asking someone who never went to aviation school to fly a plane just because he looks good in a Flight Captain's suit. Lagosians let us be wise in our choice.

Vote Akinwunmi Ambode for continuity in our beloved Lagos State.

AMBODE for change. I'm voting for Ambode come Saturday.

Meanwhile Lagosians, look at what is happening in Ekiti and think twice before voting PDP on Saturday. Don't let the maladministration PDP is known for seep into our beloved state. They would deplete the funds meant for posterity and the growth of this great state.


Let's us come out in our numbers this Saturday, and vote in the competent Akinwunmi Ambode for Governor of Lagos State.

EKO O NI BAJE.

Yes na. The Oba is not a spokesperson for APC or Ambode. For all we know, he may even be working for PDP, to derail Ambode's campaign. I am still voting my choice. Lagosians be wise. AMBODE for governor.
