Oba of Lagos speaks on declining Peter Obi’s request to visit him

The Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu says he bears no grudges and harbours no resentment towards the Igbo.

The monarch said this in reaction to his purported rejection of Labour Party, LP, Presidential candidate, Peter Obi, request to visit him.

A female supporter of the Labour party candidate had accused the monarch of rejecting the moves by Peter Obi to visit him at his Iduganran palace, Lagos Island.

Speaking when the former Lagos Commissioner of Police, CP, Abiodun Alabi paid him a courtesy visit in his place in the company of the new Commissioner of Police, Idowu Owohunwa, Akiolu said Obi is free to visit him at his palace anytime he wishes to.

The revered monarch, while declaring that he has a cordial relationship with the Igbos in Lagos, added that the late President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief George Obiozor, was his close friend.

Makesense Media report that, According to Akiolu, “Nobody has written to me that any presidential candidate is coming to visit me.

“If anybody writes to me, I cannot deny them but as far as Peter Obi is concerned, whom I see as a complete gentleman, he has not approached me.

“I was always with the late Ohanaeze President, Obiazor, every weekend when he was alive and anytime I travelled to New York, he would always come to pick me up at the airport.

“So, I have no grudge against any Igbo man. I respect people and I don’t fear anybody,” Akiolu said.

He commended the former Lagos CP, Alabi for his performances during his tenure and urged the new CP to take the welfare of the police under him seriously and be nice to the people.

“Try to hold your religion. If you are a Christian or Muslim, practice your religion and look after the welfare of the people under you.

“I don’t take nonsense but I don’t have reservoirs of knowledge. From what I know about you, you will do well.

“Anything you do, do it with honesty. What you don’t want the citizens to do to you, don’t do it to them. I am giving you the assurance that we will cooperate with you,” Akiolu told the new CP.

Earlier, the Owhohunwa had told Akiolu he was at his palace to seek his royal blessings and professional advice.

According to him, “I have come for the professional aspect. You retired from the police service at one of the highest levels.

“The rich knowledge we can get from you is vital for my performance and I want to appeal to you to consider me as your son both from the traditional perspective and professional perspective and accept me with open hands.

“Whenever, I come, whenever I have challenges in the course of my duty, I should have a father to turn to. I will work to secure stable security for Lagos State, ” he said

mycar:

He must

Obi is the president of Nigeria from 2023 - 2031

MrSensor:
He must

you are correct

The Oba of Lagos said he didn't get any requests to visit him from Peter Obi
So why did Dayo Ekong say they were denied Permission to see the Oba then?

This needs to be Clarified

“If anybody writes to me, I cannot deny them but as far as Peter Obi is concerned, whom I see as a complete gentleman, he has not approached me.

Only urchins think otherwise

It seems like mouth of all apc members are filled with lies.

The ones that rejected you in your short times will be the one to run to you in your top times and seek for mercy

What were you expecting him to say?

For the first time in my life am feeling optimistic about a new Nigeria.

Lets take back our country Nigeria from this corrupt and greedy leaders.

They have been sitting on our destiny for so long and they want their children to continue where they stopped when they die.

Fellow Nigerians, this is a time to put common sense first, forget Tribe,religion and region, remember competence.
Vote wisely.

SWATMan:


What were you expecting him to say?

Akiolu doesn't tell lies

He will say whatever is in his mind to anyone and he doesn't care
Someone who was blasting all the Yoruba Obas why would he tell lie because of ordinary Peter Obi

If you have integrity you will not be always in a state of giving excuses and explanations for your actions.

Lagos pre and post Tinubu.

Igbo flocked into Lagos when Tinubu made it a wealth generating city.

Who takes this one serious? APC oba

This Oba wey dey play useless politics of hate and strife.

A former police officer who was fired by OBj because of his excesses.

The man can't be trusted at all.

That oba is a very wicked man o, but oga peter no get your time na, he's on a holy mission to fix Nigeria and of course good people do have enemies, tribalists and devilish enemy of progress, it is well

We all know you were having a Saturday with seyi where you both get to check the length of your beards.

"The revered monarch, while declaring that he has a cordial relationship with the Igbos in Lagos..." Same monarch that threatened to throw Igbos in the lagoon should they not vote his candidate.
Obi has been visiting royal fathers, kings, oba, emirs but it became an issue when it gets to your turn. In the coming days receipt will show up on what actually happened to the proposed visit.

We all will live long enough to harvest whatever seed we planted.

Oba of Lagoon is irrelevant to obi and his followers.
Oba of Benin is our Oba. May the prayers of Oba of Benin come to pass

derecho:
Oba Baale of Isale Eko, you mean?

I can see he desperately wants to see Peter Obi now.

When he is ready, he should let Obi know.

PO has said he'd find time to visit him.
I just pray PO will be too busy.

Fixed.

no dilemma, maywould, you will would the one to visit him in the Aso rock

Oba that has pledged loyalty to BAT to a fault. Why should he receive Peter Obi at his Palace.
