Nigeria President: Oba Akiolu gives ex-VP Atiku zero chance
The Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, has said emphatically that a former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, will never be the president of Nigeria.
The monarch said this when he addressed journalists on Sunday at a media session to mark his 82nd birthday and 22 years on the throne.
Oba Akiolu explained that Abubakar, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 elections, is not like President Bola Tinubu who is a visionary and compassionate leader.
He said, “The future belongs to God. But let me say it plainly: former Vice President Atiku Abubakar will never be president of Nigeria.
“Tinubu is compassionate and visionary. Who would have believed that he would become president?
“He presented his certificate to me first after winning.
“Lagosians and Nigerians should support him to fulfil God’s purpose for the country.”
On his relationship with Tinubu, Oba Akiolu said, “I’m not a politician, but I always tell them that politicians don’t fight, they only disagree.
“God deliberately chose Bola Ahmed Tinubu for Nigeria.
“On May 23, 2003, the day I received my certificate of office, I told God that Tinubu would one day be president.
“He made Lagos proud and will complete his term by God’s grace.
“Everything in life has an end. Only God gives longevity.”
