PDP Will Never Rule Lagos — Rilwan Akiolu, Oba Of Lagos by Franchise21(m): 4:01pm On Nov 26, 2014
The Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, has said the Peoples
Democratic Party,PDP, will never produce a governor in
Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial capital.
The state of over nine million people has consistently been
ruled by the opposition since the return of democracy to
the country in 1999.

The PDP has however intensify its plan to win over the
state from the the All Progressives Congress in the
forthcoming elections.

But speaking as the chief launcher of the autobiography of
the former President of the Court of Appeal, Mustapha
Akanbi, at the Sheraton Hotel in Abuja on Wednesday, Mr.
Akiolu said Lagos would continue to be under the ruling
All Progressive Congress, APC.

“Recently, I told Bode George, (Musiliu) Koro and (Adeseye)
Ogunlewe that “Look at me o! You will never win Lagos.
God will give us another APC governor”.

The monarch, who elicited a lot of excitement from the
audience, also stated that he became the Oba of Lagos
through divine intervention and that he did not spend a
dime.

”After I was retired, some justices of the Supreme court,
including Belgore, Uwais and Akanbi came to me and told
me that they intend to go and see the president, but I told
them with due respect that, that is where God wants me to
be.

“One of them, Wali held my hand, and prayed, saying that
within one year, you will see what God will do in your life,
and exactly a year later, my father, the late Oba, joined his
ancestors.

”Governor Tinubu came and said don’t give anyone any
money to be Oba, if it is yours, it will surely come and that
is how I became the Oba, even though President
(Olusegun) Obasanjo was against me,” the Oba said.

Mr. Obasanjo, who was also seated at the high table with
the monarch, simply laughed.

I don't think PDP ever deceived themselves so much as to think they can win Lagos even though they lie to themselves a lot.

I never knew traditional rulers will engage in partisan politics just to satisfy the ego of their oyemesi (Tinubu). He needs to withdraw that statement asap or ....

Traditional leaders should exercise caution when making statements bordering on the choice of the people.
Their position in the society is of high esteem and they should hold it as such by remaining neutral in the political arena.

This Tinubu created commercial oba is living in an APC induced propaganda cocoon. Is he God? Or does he have 5 million votes hidden in the palace. Besides any royal father that becomes partisan, exposes himself to ridicule. Oba Akiolu should respect his stool and remain neutral. Look at the Emir Sanusi of Kano, that one has calmed down once he learnt that the security of his throne rests on how apolitical he is. A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE.

you still do not understand that where the words of the king is there is power. What the man did was to give direction his people where to follow.

If it goes to pdp nko? Will the sky fall? Im all for power rotating among the political parties. That's when the electorate is the winner and not taken for granted. Shift to apc at federal level, shift to pdp in lagos state, shift to apga in abia and ebonyi...etc. if only wishes were horses

Kabiyesi Oba, Ki Ade pe lori o.
I am too small to hand-wave your words Kabiyesi.

One thing I know is that PDP will form the next government in Lagos State.
We are ready, we have prepared and we will field the right candidate that even the Oba will support.

In As Much, I would love a Dent in power of Tinubu in Lagos. I don't think the best way to achieve that is by Voting for PDP. Cos it might turn to an unrest here.. That's, Y I want it to come from d federal Level. I trust Buhari to dissolve it.
