REJOINDER: OBA OF LAGOS, HABA!!
Our attention has been attracted by the recent speech made by the Oba of Lagos: Oba Rilwan Akiolu as he dogmatically on Sunday encouraged a section of people resident in Lagos to vote for All Progressive Congress (APC) during the forthcoming gubernatorial elections or else the electorates would die in Lagoon. The Oba as a Royal Father had no legitimate right to impose party or individuals besides he is required to be neutral in spite of his esteemed needs and position.
We rebook his curse through this medium and implore all law abiding citizens resident in Lagos to go out en-mass and vote for JK Agbaje. The King should remember that the People Democratic Party (PDP) is not the property of a particular tribe. Besides nobody singlehandedly voted for the PDP or APC. The Oba has no justified right to curse his subjects. We caution him to reign by example. He should remember that the Nigeria citizen’s geographical locations are not sectional.
We quote the Oba “I’m not ready to beg you. Nobody knew how I picked Ambode. Jimi (Agbaje) is my blood relation and I told him that he cannot be governor in Lagos for now. The future belongs to God. I am not begging anybody, but what you people cannot do in Onitsha, Aba or anywhere, don’t do it here”
The will of God will prevail.
