Rilwan Akiolu, oba of Lagos, says
Bola Tinubu, national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), will be
justified if he is angry over the affairs of the state.
Tinubu had rejected the
reelection bid of Akinwunmi Ambode, governor of Lagos state, throwing his
weight behind Jide Sanwo-Olu who eventually emerged the APC governorship
candidate.
In an interview with PUNCH,
Akiolu said he has asked Ambode to leave it (the primary election) to God.
He said no evil will befall
Ambode.
“I know he’s a good person,” the
oba said.
“No evil will befall him and God
still has great plans for him (Ambode). When the breeze blows, we will all see
what the chicken is hiding underneath.
“The truth is that if Bola Ahmed
Tinubu is angry, he’s justified. No evil will befall the three of them. They
know my stance on the issue and it’s not a secret.
“Better people should come into
politics, because majority of them there are liars and that is the truth. As
time goes on, we will continue to de-emphasise the import of money in our
election.
“On the other hand, concerning
Ambode, if you have charm but you don’t have the antidote or another charm that
can counter it, then you don’t have anything. I won’t say more than that. May
God help all of us.
“So, I didn’t talk because they
are both my children and it will get better.”
‘BUHARI SHOULD CLOSE THE BORDER
TO PREVENT OBASANJO FROM ESCAPING’
Akiolu advised President
Muhammadu Buhari to prevent former President Olusegun Obasanjo from “escaping”
if he wins reelection in 2019.
“The moment he wins the election,
he should close the border so that Obasanjo won’t escape,” the Oba said.
“Obasanjo should change his ways.
An adage says that a deity that we try every possible thing to put in a place
of honour that defies all such gestures would expose itself to ridicule at the
end of the day.”
