Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, has said that former President Olusegun Obasanjo is the biggest problem of the country, Igbere TV reports.


The monarch said this on Monday at the public presentation of a book by a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Olusegun Osoba, at Eko Hotels, Victoria Island, Lagos.


The book is titled “Battlelines: Adventures in Journalism and Politics”.


Akiolu had referenced a section of the memoir where Osoba claimed that Obasanjo deceived former governors of the Alliance for Democracy (AD) and socio-cultural group, Afenifere.


“The problem we are having in this country is this and I will continue to say it that the number one problem of Nigeria is Obasanjo,” Akiolu said.


The Lagos monarch alleged that Bola Tinubu maintained his relevance in politics because he understood the deceptive nature of Obasanjo.


The book launch was attended by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo; Senate President Ahmed Lawan; Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, Ibrahim Wase.


Also at the event were Tinubu; governors in the South West, Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson; former governors, ministers, diplomats, traditional rulers, among others.

Rugarized Oba that was a regular fixture at Aso Rock during the Abacha days?

Why won't he be angry of Obasanjo's emergence as President after he lost his only source of livelihood - begging at Aso Rock.

This clown is one of many Yoruba bastards that betrayed Abiola.

He is very happy with Buhari - since Buhari's govt is nothing but a Throwback of Abacha's govt with all the hibernating ab0kis back in power.

A fool only equal to Amir Akanbi.

This mans hatred for OBJ is legendary.

This mans hatred for OBJ is legendary.

Obasanjo's fulanization essay that wanted Nigerians of Buhari's fulani population replacement and land grabbing was well timed prior to their announcing their useless RUGA policy.

Too early, and Nigerians would have forgotten OBJ's plans ; too late and the warning would not have sufficed as there would have been Rugas everywhere.

That alone should tell you OBJ has strong inside Intel on this useless Buhari govt.

The clown of an Oba is angry over OBJ'S warning that saw Buhari rescind his Ruga nonsense which the likes of this useless Oba had already keyed into after being promised lucrative oil lifting rights.

If in doubt, other than the Ooni of Ife, which useless Yoruba Oba has spoken up against this Ruga nonsense?

The other day the Alaafin berated Obasanjo and said "he stands with Buhari". Why? Because they have all been compromised.

Typical of the Fulani slaves of the south west ..


Ever since Obasanjo alerted Nigerians on the evil plans of Buhari and Tinubu to convert the whole south west to Ruga settlements.. They have not been themselves

Have you ever seen Tunubu speak against Ruga

Have you ever seen this Oba speak against it.. Never

These are the people who had already mapped out Yoruba lands for the Fulani

“You are not part of the useless obas in Yorubaland who will sell out, we know them and it is not yet time to mention names. In Yorubaland today, you are the best monarch and that is not contestable. The good obas’ in Yorubaland, who are forthright, firm and stand by the truth are not up to five, they are just three. Oba Awujale, Oba Akiolu and another,” tinubu said when given the podium at special prayer session held at the Ijebu-Ode Central Mosque to mark the 80th birthday of the Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona.

Several traditional institutions in the region however have begun to meet on tinubu’s comment describing it as an aberration on the sacred Yourba tradition. Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuwade, while addressing a group of foremost traditional rulers in Osun State lampooned the APC national leader over his statement.

He said it was the traditional rulers in the South West that held their subjects together, giving room for people like him (tinubu) to actualise his political ambition. The traditional ruler said he had to express his protest over the statement credited to tinubu on behalf of the majority of yoruba rulers in Nigeria.

According to Sijuwade, tinubu had forgotten that “when our country was upside down, it was the traditional rulers in this country that saved the situation. If we left the country as politicians did, there would have been no state for the leader of APC to rule when he came back.

“Two among the three obas mentioned by him were the best friends of the late military head of state, General Sani Abacha and among them, one was on the paylist of the late General and one lifted crude oil allocated to him by General Abacha. You can ask them, Abacha gave me money on more than one occasion, but I refused.

“And if you want to talk of the annulment of late Chief M.K.O. Abiola’s election, these two/three traditional rulers should be properly investigated, because they were neither here nor there,” the traditional ruler said.

“If any of our leaders wants to make a categorical statement on an important issue like the Oba in Yorubaland, he should please try to check records to know exactly what each one of them has done, because there is so much blackmail and, fortunately, the late Abacha’s Chief Security Officer (CSO) is alive and he is in a position to tell the world the obas who were close associates of his late boss,” Oba Sijuwade added.

Don't worry yourselves King, we true Yorubas now know why you and Alafin always downgrade Obasanjo for Buhari. You people have been brutalized exposed, posterity will ever be kind to Obasanjo just for this timely wake-up call about RUGA. Baba OBJ is a winner even your RUGA president envies his acceptability across tribes. Continuing shading OBJ while Fulani continues building communities for themselves in your domain until you become another Afonja.
