Oba of Lagos campaigns for Buhari, Ambode and Obasa

The Lagos monarch made this statement on Saturday, August 4, 2018 in his palace when Conference of Speakers of State Legislatures paid him a courtesy visit.

Oba Akiolu said Buhari, Ambode and Obasa have performed excellently well in their course of duty and deserve another term.

"They have done well. And going by their performances during the few years that they have been saddled with the leadership positions, they have shown to all and sundry that they can do more if given the opportunity again," he said.

The Lagos monarch stated further advised politicians to work for the interest and welfare of Nigerians.

"Politicians can only do this by settling their differences amicably. Politics is characterised by alignment and re-alignment of personnel but in doing this, politicians should not take actions or make utterances that can heat up the polity.

"We should ensure that we live in peace and harmony and that's when the country can grow and develop. Through this, Nigerians will enjoy real dividends of democracy," Oba Akiolu said.

The host Speaker, Rt. Hon. Obasa described Oba Akiolu as a supporter of truth and an agitator for justice.

"He has been a pillar of support for us. He has always stand by us and we have been drinking positively from his fountain of knowledge and wisdom," Rt. Hon Obasa said.
