The Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, has expressed support for a former Accountant General of the state, Mr. Akinwunmi Abode, as governor in 2015.Akiolu said this at the launch of a biography of Ambode titled, ‘The Art of Selfless Service’ in Lagos on Thursday.
He said while addressing guests at the event that there was no more room for hide and seek as it was time to let Lagosians know who their next governor would be.
He said other governorship aspirants had the right to run but he would pray for Ambode to lead the state.
The Oba, who spoke intermittently in English and Yoruba, said, “We say we are here to launch a book but we know why we are here. We the elders had met and discussed and the people have said that Ambode will be the governor.....JUST LIKE THAT?
“Let no one misquote me, the others (aspirants) have a right to run. Ambode, may you lead all of them. Ambode is not Ilaje, he is from Epe and a true Lagosian.”
While speaking with journalists on the side lines of the event, Akiolu described Ambode as a selfless public servant, who had distinguished himself.culled
May the best candidate win..and may any waiting-to-be-imposed fail woefully!

I've always known elections in Nigeria are organised to purely waste people's time. The elder statemen and political god fathers simply hand pick who they choose into power. Nigeria! What a country!

ReplyDeleteAll this imposition has to stop! I am not surprised that is how APC work's.
ReplyDeleteThe basis for choosing Ambode is simple and transparent.Lagosians have been clamouring for a christian governor for a change and there are only 2 christian gubernatorial aspirants under the APC.Akin Ambode and Leke Pitan.Ambode is at an advantage over Leke Pitan cos the next governor is zoned to come from Epe since we have had governors from other administrative divisions(IBILE).Besides that google Akinwunmi Ambode.I can bet you will be impressed by his resume.He is indeed sound and selfless.His sense of responsibilty is remarkable.I am not on his campaign team for those who think I am his PRO.I just want us to cast our votes right.
