Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu on
Thursday said he is not a rubber stamp to the National Leader of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
The monarch spoke when the Lagos
State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu met with traditional rulers at the State
House Ikeja, Lagos, Southwest Nigeria.
According to Akiolu, Tinubu knew
full well that he is not a rubber stamp to him, saying that the former governor
of Lagos State did not always reject his advice and requests.
The oba stated emphatically that
he was not afraid of anybody except God, which was why he always spoke the
truth to those in power.
Akiolu said Sanwo-Olu and his
deputy, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat should not grant his request if he made unworthy
demands from them.
He urged them to be fast to
listen to people’s words, information and advice, but be slow to respond,
saying this was important because many who would come to advice them were
hypocrites who gave the world account of the discussions they had, when they
came visiting.
The monarch stated that the visit
to Sanwo-Olu became imperative as all those in authority must be respected,
adding that the visit was used to discuss serious issues regarding security and
economy development of Lagos State.
Akiolu assured the governor that
the traditional rulers would work towards his success in office.
In his response, Sanwo-Olu
assured of good working relationship with the traditional institutions for
Lagos to be safe as destination of choice for investment.
