Obasanjo never wanted me as Oba therefore PDP will not rule Lagos – Akiolu

The Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, has said the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, will never produce a governor in Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial capital.

The monarch is known to have a cordial relationship with former Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu, incumbent Babatunde Fashola among other chieftains of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Speaking as the chief launcher of the autobiography of the former President of the Court of Appeal, Mustapha Akanbi, at the Sheraton Hotels in Abuja on Wednesday, Oba Akiolu said Lagos would remain an APC state.

“Recently, I told Bode George, Koro (Musiliu) and Ogunlewe (Adeseye) that “Look at me o! You will never win Lagos. God will give us another APC governor”.

Security Operative Invades APC Secretariat in Lagos

Armed security operatives on attacked the Lagos, western Nigeria office of the main opposition party in the country, the All Progressives Congress, APC, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed, has said.

Mohammed further said the security men destroyed the party’s data base calling it an impunity carried too far and a scandal that can best be compared with the Watergate Scandal of the United States of America that led to the resignation of the country’s president, Richard Nixon in 1974. A statement from him on Saturday afternoon, said the APC strongly condemns the invasion of its Lagos offices by security agents, adding that it was one of the worst political scandals in Nigeria’s history.

In the statement Mohammed issued in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, the APC said: “the invasion could only be likened to the Watergate Scandal that led to the resignation of US President Richard Nixon in 1974, as a result of the June 17, 1972, break-in at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) headquarters at the Watergate office complex in Washington, D.C., and the attempted cover-up of its involvement by the Republican Nixon administration.” It therefore called for an independent inquiry to fish out those who ordered “the needless and unprovoked attack” on the offices of the APC and ensure that they face very serious consequences, irrespective of their status.

“Saturday’s attack is another one in the string of attacks and illegal actions of the PDP-led administration. The attack was unwarranted and unjustifiable. “To attack one of the offices of the opposition party, APC, where legitimate operations of the party were being undertaken is an act of fascism and totalitarianism. To the point of brigandage, the invasion of the APC centre is an assault on the APC and its entire membership across the country. It must not go unpunished,” the APC said
