Oba Akiolu who made a controversial
speech to Igbo leaders before the gubernatorial elections, said he still
maintains his position that Mr Agbaje will not be governor of the
state.
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
"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
