Jimi Agbaje will never be governor - Oba of Lagos maintains

Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, says Jimi Agbaje who contested and lost the Lagos governorship seat in the last governorship election will never be governor of Lagos state.

Oba Akiolu who first stated this in April while making his controversial speech to Igbo leaders, said he still maintains his position that Mr Agbaje will not be governor of the state. Oba Akiolu said this while speaking at the public policy lecture organized by the Institute of Directors, IoD and launch of the book "The Example: The Era of Babatunde Raji Fashola as Governor of Lagos State,’ in Lagos yesterday May 6th. Read what the Oba said after the cut...


"On May 14, 2014 when I first told all residents of Lagos that the next governor of the state will be Ambode, many didn’t believe me. I knew all the waters that have passed under the bridge, including my own blood relations, who without consulting me went with others to say that Bola Tinubu, Fashola and Oba Akiolu have pocketed Lagos, saying that this time, they will not allow that. And I told them that Jimi (Agbaje) will never be the governor. I still maintain it. There is no going back. I have no doubt in my mind, with the cooperation and prayers of everyone, Ambode will perform very well. I told many people that Bola Tinubu planted the seed, Fashola came and watered the seed and it started germinating in geometrical progressions. We have just started" he said (Source: Vanguard)

In yoruba culture its dangerous to publicly go against d oba. They attack u spiritually & physically. I think its a pride thing.

Happened to one of my uncles. In d 80's came bk from study abroad. Got a job wt d govt & started mouthing off at d oba of my small village thinking he was a powerless nonentity. D thing is d oba spoke to other obas & they collectively destroyed his life. He cld never get any job in d whole of Nigeria again & they didnt leave him at dt. Abt 20yrs after, he died after being bedridden for years. Waste. Shoulda just kept quiet.

If someone has told Buhari after he has tried like 4 times that he will became president this year , he might have a doubting mind,but here we are he is the President elect of this country. An elderly does not talk much even if there is a personal issue with this man, let it go. Nobody can determine what will happen in the next second, is only God decisions, so sir Jimi Agbaje can still become President of the nation.This is not issue of politic, am APC member but truth must be told

Shasore K. O. said...

I am a Lagosian and Gov Fashola remains one of The best Leaders Africa has ever produced. When I went to the polls on April 12, I voted for Jimi Agbaje because I believe he has the same temerity Fashola has got. Fashola was not a Party man, he was a visionary leader who wanted the best for Lagos. That was why it was inevitable not to hear about his fights with Tinubu. Amobode's reign will practically be Tinubu reigning. There will be so much corruption in Lagos, Many projects will be awarded but not done or completed and Lagos state will not witness the unprecedented growth it did in the last 8 years. May it be well with us all in Lagos State.

Its not. Here is d clash between democracy & tradition. Dont be deceived most yorubas do not agree wt all these outbursts.

Most yorubas were against his outburst against d igbos & even though they would never have said anything to diss d oba (against our culture) pple were ready to vote jimi to spite him. What yorubas didnt like was d tongue lashing dt followed (which felt like outsiders were dragging our whole race & oba through d mud) & of course d coward,lazy, jealous, no mans land disses dt were totally uncalled for since yorubas never even thought igbos saw them dt way. It was like whoa these guys are evil. So this is what theyve bn harbouring all this while we were all smiling together & marrying each other.

Despite all dt, i know a lot of yorubas dt still voted jimi agbaje.

After Rilwan Akiolu threatened violence and death on the Igbos, Fashola should never been appearing on the same platform as Rilwan Akiolu. Birds of a feather? Fashola is two-face. He's a hypocrite and no different from the tribalistic and rotten Rilwan Akiolu.

Wasn't it Fashola that were deporting Nigerians, Igbos out of Lagos State? He, before Rilwan Akiolu, was dealing injustice, discrimination and humiliation on the Igbo tribe.

APC Lagos, be it Fashola, Bola Tinubu or Rilwan Akiolu, they are all the same rotten, corrupt, filthy, tribalistic and bigoted creatures that have cornered and turned the revenue of Lagos State into their private business.

Basically, be you Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Fulani, as long as you live in Lagos, you are a slave to the Fashola-Akiolu-Fashola mafia that have abducted and holding Lagos State and Lagosians hostage.

One way or another, those rotten crooks get a percentage of the taxes you people pay in Lagos.

One way or another, those rotten crooks get a percentage of every money given to Lagos State by the Federal Government.

This is no longer about APC vs PDP. Lagos needs to be rescued from Fashola-Akiolu-Fashola mafia, I don't care which party wins Lagos in 2019, as long as Fashola-Akiolu-Fashola mafia are permanently dislodged.

But he is saying the truth. Who started BRT, Lastma, Lawma, Lekki road, awolowo road, rehab of ikeja, alausa, vi, bode Thomas and most parts of surulere.. tinubu.

Who reformed the judiciary in Lagos, tinubu thru Osinbajo. Who started the Lagos waterways, who made Lagos the best state in terms of internally generated revenue.. tinubu


Ppl forget that tinubu was a wonderful governor who for four years still worked as the best south west governor even when Obasanjo fought him and withheld the federal allocation to Lagos.

Ppl forget or maybe before the blogs, people didn't have much awareness of politics. But the real Lagos boys know that AD/AC/ACN and now APC thru the leadership of Tinubu has been an example.

Tinubu has and will always be riddled with controversy. You forget Toronto (Oh you were not into politics back then)

Even Awolowo whose institutions still live benefit all Nigerians also faced all this. akintola was his friend before his political intrigues landed Awo in prison. same thing when Abiola betrayed him and he lost in the center to an eventually corrupt Shagari government.

And why did these people fight him, a lot of ppl fought Awo bcos they didn't like how he paraded himself as the leader of the Yoruba. But you see the people will love a true leader who performs.

Tinubu is performing and people will love him. Let other leaders (Fayose) perform and he will see the love

There is one fool here that is trying to threaten people that insult the oba by saying something spiritual will happen to the person. It is only people that do not know God Almighty that will fear such nonsense. The oba's public conduct is very bad and irresponsible. You cannot catch the Emir of Kano or Oba of Benin talking like this or behaving like a tout. They dont even involve themselves in politics. He should stop being stupid and leave Jimi Agbaje alone. He is not God and can never be God.
