In an interview with Punch, the Lagos monarch said he will do everything within his power to ensure that President Buhari emerges winner in the election and once the results are announced, he will advice the presidnet to immediately put up measures to ensure the former president does not escape from Nigeria.
Oba Akiolu and Obasanjo have been at loggerheads since the era of the Bola Tinubu administration after the former governor and Obasanjo had a fallout that saw the funds meant for the state seized by the Federal government.
Speaking of Obasanjo, Tinubu and Buhari during the interview, Oba Akiolu said:
We were all witnesses to the battle Bola
Ahmed had with (former President Olusegun) Obasanjo. In his first four
years as the President of Nigeria, instead of facing governance, he was
busy pursuing Tinubu and coming after Lagos. And that is why Lagos is as
strong as it is today.
He succeeded in capturing many other
states except Lagos. God was with us. All the monarchs and religious
leaders stood firm with us. At that time, I even said I would rather
lose my life than allow him to capture Lagos.
