Peter Obi: Why I Couldn’t Visit The Oba Of Lagos During Campaign (Video) by MrNotAgain: 10:29pm On Feb 13, 2023

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi has explained that the Oba of Lagos, HRH Rilwan Akiolu was not “readily available” when he requested to visit him during his campaign in the nation’s economic capital.

“On my arrival in Lagos, I did ask that I wanted to visit the Oba whom I regard as a father figure,” Obi said Monday on Channels Television’s special election programme, The 2023 Verdict.

It is customary for presidential candidates to pay homage to first-class traditional rulers when they visit states to campaign but controversy had surrounded Obi’s inability to meet the Lagos monarch during his outing in the state.

However, the former governor of Anambra State said the reports that the first-class monarch refused to see him were untrue.

Obi said what happened in Lagos wasn’t unusual as it had happened during his planned visits to traditional rulers in states he had campaigned. According to him, one or two monarchs were not readily available to receive him in the past but they fixed future dates.

He said, “Some even say, ‘Oh, he (Oba of Lagos) refused to see me’. It is not true.

“The truth is that when we arrived, we wanted to do what we want to do: arrive and drive to the palace and see the Oba but we were told that he is not readily available and that we should apply and come at some other date and that we intend to do because he remains a highly respected father to me and to the entire nation.”

Oba palliative and urchins are tribal bigots still living lives of stone age. They reason with their belly just like fani kayode. They don't care what future beholds for their children. I am voting Obi because through him, 80-90% government illegalities in nigeria will stop. Don't you ever think that Obi and Datti are soft for the job. Steal £1 in their regime, na maximum kiri kiri go get you. My generation coming will be proud of what we achieved through Obi/Datti.

VOTE WISELY

I keenly observed that our Oba of lagos who is usually publicly political , has been silent and operating in silent mode in this election which is very very unlike him.

Usually, he would have been bragging, issuing threats and commands on who to vote.

Since after the "Nebuchadnezzar" treatment given to him by his subjects , the man has been humble and cautious.

Lol unserious man.

You want to meet a king the status of Oba of Lagos, you just think you won’t give him notice before the day. The mumu Obi just think when he arrives in Lagos, he will just stroll to the palace like say Lagos Oba useless like all those warrant chiefs for Igbo land that call themselves Obi of Onisha and etc.

If you truly wanted to visit the Oba, you would have given him some few days notice. But instead, You just stepped into Lagos and think you’ll just go to Oba palace immediately like say he no go get other functions.

The foolish Obi even sent some of his Obiidiots to lie that the Oba refused to meet him to satisfy their propaganda.

Bro, Obi do not want to meet the Oba, all this nonsense he is capping is just format.

Do you mean to say he just stroll to the palace of the Sultan without giving him enough days of notice?

According to him, when he landed in Lagos he instructed his comrade that he will like to go to the palace of Oba. Does that look like someone that’s serious?

The pains and bitterness of the Oba’s palace that was invaded and desecrated during the endsars protest is still fresh in the memory of the king.

This further confirms that the king is not intellectually matured and morally fit to occupy that throne.

Him, the king, being a retired police officer and a core Abacha boy during his days, is using police unintelligent and parasitic tactics to mar his reign.

To me its a waste of time to even see the king because he is Tinubu's boy and staunch APC supporter. But we careless about all that.

Obi is who we want. obi is the man. I hope he shock the whole country with his victory.

Calabar is one state that tried to reject old money, n because of that,no business is moving, everything is on standby,people rarely go out or spend.

In Akwa ibom here, yesterday I had to pay POS 113 to get 100k of old money which is still very hot cake here.
Banks are all collecting n selling old money here, businesses are now moving,fillinstations all round collect old money except one which doesn't hv patronage n boys are planing on burning it..

Emefieli messed up, no matter what the supreme court says tomorrow, people won't take old money again to the bank as before.
