Oba Akioulu said this on Tuesday, May 30, 2017, while speaking at the 60th birthday celebration of Mrs. Folashade Ashafa.
Mrs. Ashafa is the wife of Senator Gbenga Ashafa, the Senator representing Lagos East Senatorial District in the Senate.
According to a statement released by the Oba’s media team, the monarch said “His Imperial Majesty said while people would take sides with politicians and develop enmity and grudges for supporters of rival parties, the politicians never take their differences personal and always know how to reconcile behind closed doors.

“He, therefore, advised all Nigerians to learn how to allow politicians settle their differences without interference or unnecessary sensationalisation of issues.
“Oba Akiolu spoke glowingly of the woman and her husband, saying Senator Gbenga Ashafa could only have achieved much because he had a good wife who gave him peace and kept the home front solid.”
Recently, the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu sparked some controversy when he snubbed the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi Ojaja II.
