After a long a quiteness of the Oba's following the nation economics
standard people shout there, Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu has
reminded President Muhammadu Buhari not to forget that he is no longer a
military man.
The monarch said the ongoing economic hardship in the nation could not be totally blamed on former President Goodluck Jonathan.
He spoke in Lagos during the unveiling of SunTrust Bank Limited, the
first commercial bank to be licensed by the Central Bank of Nigeria in
15 years.
Akiolu said, “All of us just have to support the President and I
advise him to know that he is no more a military man. I am not afraid to
say that. The measures they are taking on the rot of the past, honestly
whether they like it or not, it was not totally the fault of former
President Goodluck Jonathan. I don’t hide the fact that he (Jonathan) is
my personal friend.”
Other dignitaries at the event included a former Chairman, Economic
and Financial Services Commission, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu; Oba of Lagos,
Rilwan Akiolu; Obi of Onitsha, Nnaemeka Achebe; President, Lagos Chamber
of Commerce and Industry, Chief Nike Akande; a former Managing
Director, Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria, Mr. Mustafa
