Hon Rilwan Akiolu, The Oba of Lagos has delivered a
warning message to lagosians residing in Lagos State to
vote for his man; Akinwumi Ambode at the Gubernatorial
Election coming up This Week Saturday, April 11th 2015.
“On Saturday, if any one of you goes against Ambode
who I picked, that is your end. If it doesn’t happen
within seven days, just know that I am a bastard and
its not my father who gave birth to me. By the grace
of God, I am the owner of Lagos for the time being.
This is an undivided chair. The palace belongs to the
dead and those coming in the future. On Saturday, if
anyone of you, I swear in the name of God, goes
against my wish that Ambode will be the next
governor of Lagos state , the person is going to die
inside this water.
For the Igbos and others in Lagos, they should go
where the Oba of Lagos heads to. When they were
coming to the state, they didn’t come with all their
houses. But now they have properties in the state.
So they must do my bidding. And that is the bidding
of the ancestors of Lagos and God.
I am not ready to beg you. Nobody knew how I
picked Ambode. Jimi is my blood relation and I told
him that he can never be governor in Lagos for now.
The future belongs to God. I am not begging
anybody, but what you people cannot do in Onitsha,
Aba or anywhere you can not do it here.
If you do what I want, Lagos will continue to be
prosperous for you, if you go against my wish, you
will perish in the water. I am for the progress, growth
and development in Lagos, Ambode is highly
cerebral, he’s a symbol and he is going to deliver the
message which I the Oba of Lagos have said.
And he will govern the state for another eight years.
He is going on a mission and God will give him the
wisdom and knowledge to fulfill that mission. Almost
a year ago, I declared that Ambode will be the next
governor of Lagos and it will not change. From time
immemorial, the previous occupiers of this house
will say what they wanted after consultation with
other people. And this hasn’t change and it will not
change at this time.” he allegedly said.
