Obasanjo Is The Number One Troublemaker In This Country – Oba of Lagos, Akiolu



Rilwan Akiolu, the oba of Lagos, has described former President Olusegun Obasanjo as a troublemaker who always arrogates power to himself.

Atkiolu took a swipe at the former president on Wednesday when participants of the senior executive course (41) of the National Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS) visited him at his palace in Lagos.

Ahead of the 2019 elections, Obasanjo was against the reelection of President Muhammadu Buhari.

But the monarch ascribed the president’s eventual victory to God.

“I had said that Buhari would win even before the election, unfortunately, the number one person creating problems in this country is former president Obasanjo,” he said.



“He arrogated to himself the powers of the Almighty Allah by saying it was the support he gave to Buhari that made him win the first term.

“Obasanjo said Buhari would not win the second term, but did Buhari not win? Did I not say Obasanjo will be disappointed by the time the results were announced.

“The president’s victory clearly shows power belongs to God only and no man can decide who leads the country.”

Urging Nigerians to support the president, Akiolu said the problems of insecurity, unemployment and other challenges of the country would be better tackled if citizens joined hands with government to address them.
