Olusegun Obasanjo, accusing him of creating all the injustices he now
accuses the present administration of.
"God gives many people long lives so that they can get enough
punishment, like what is happening now. All the injustices they did
against Lagos State from 1999 to 2007, God is exposing them. All the
accusations the former President, Obasanjo is giving now, he initiated
and nurtured it. He masterminded it and now he is complaining. God has
a way of doing things. More are still coming to him," the monarch, who
was one of the special guests at the commissioning of four Nigerian
Navy Ships by President Goodluck Johnathan, told journalists.
Oba Akiolu also denied endorsing the All Progressives Congress (APC)
presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari. However, he restated his
support for the APC governorship candidate, Akinwumi Ambode.
"Who gave you that rumour? Who said so? Some of the things they are
writing, for instance, like that former Minister Obanikoro, I went to
his aged mother that they should warn him seriously. For the
Presidency, I support the best person.
"If I want to do something, I do not pretend, God almighty Allah will
give the Presidency to the people Nigerians want to do the best for
this country," he stated.
"I have picked Akinwunmi Ambode as the next governor of Lagos State. I
have my reason for saying it and I do not hide it. I acted on God's
wisdom and picked him and by the grace of God, he will be the governor
of this state."
The Oba also commented on the postponement of the election date by the
Independent Electoral Commission, (INEC). "The Head of State and INEC
have told us that the elections will take place March 28 and April 11
and I hope by the grace of God, it will be like that. For the time
being, the intent and purposes for the postponement is acceptable."
