Rilwan Akiolu, oba of Lagos, says
Nigeria will be a better place if President Muhammadu Buhari is given another
chance in 2019.
He said a second chance would
enable the president to improve the country’s economy.
Akiolu said this on Monday at the
opening ceremony of the 17th Lagos housing fair, where he disclosed that he
prefers Buhari’s administration to that of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
The traditional ruler said if
former President Goodluck Jonathan had not allowed some people to use him, he
would have been a better leader.
He said: “Buhari has to do more,
I agree, but we all have to assist by giving him another four years and see
where he will take Nigeria to. I am supporting what is good for Nigeria.
“In 2011, Buhari sent Tony Momoh
to me that he was coming to meet the leaders of Lagos in my palace by 1pm. He
came by 3pm and said he was delayed by bad roads and traffic.
“I told him he caused it because
he cancelled the metro line of Lagos state in 1984. I told him I would not tell
Lagos people to vote for him.
“But in 2015 when he came, it was
on a Friday; he came with my son, Bola Tinubu, and I noticed that for 20
minutes it rained. It occurred to me that God is going to favour this man.
“I prefer Buhari to Obasanjo.
Obasanjo keeps deceiving people for what he is after. But if Buhari is given
another chance and God gives him good health and he chooses the right people to
work with, Nigeria will be a better place.”
