The gods and ancestors Won’t Let PDP Rule Lagos- Oba Of Lagos

While speaking at the presentation of two books on Wednesday in Abuja, the traditional ruler of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu as said many people in the State are praying against PDP ruling the State in 2015. He also stated that it was his prayer that the Peoples Democratic Party won’t rule as well.

“We are praying that the PDP will not rule Lagos State. The gods and ancestors in Lagos will not allow the PDP to rule Lagos,” he said jokingly while addressing guests at the occasion.

 

Meanwhile, the PDP youths have reacted to the speech now they are asking if he is OBA OF THE APC OR OBA OF LAGOS? The youth wing of the People's Democratic Party, the PDP National Youth Frontier (PDPNYF) is not happy with comments credited to the Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu. It described the comment as a direct attack against PDP and a mockery of non-partisanship, saying traditional rulers should be for all.

The highly respected Oba was quoted to have remarked thus:“Recently, I told Bode George, [Musiliu] Koko and [Adeseye] Ogunlewe that 'Look at me o! You will never win Lagos. God will give us another APC governor'. Speaking as the chief launcher of the autobiography of the former President of the Court of Appeal, Mustapha Akanbi, at the Sheraton Hotels in Abuja on Wednesday, Oba Akiolu said Lagos would remain an APC state. The PDPNYF hereby condemns the altrances of the Oba who is supposed to remain neutral at all time. But you may wish to know that the Oba of Benin openly endorsed Jonathan in 2011 without any complain.
