The Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, has made a bad prognosis of the aspiration of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to lead Nigeria.
Atiku is a veteran in matter of contesting for the exalted office of President, and the last time he was the Presidential candidate of crisis-bedevilled Peoples Democratic Party, with current political events around him indicating that the 78 year-old has not dropped the ambition.
Speaking with newsmen at his Iga Iduganran Palace during a media session to mark his 82nd birthday and 22 years on the throne, the monarch stated that the former VP’s goal of becoming the president would never come to pass.
“The future belongs to God. But let me say it plainly: former Vice President Atiku Abubakar will never be President of Nigeria. Tinubu is compassionate and visionary. Who would have believed he’d become president? He presented his certificate to me first after winning. Lagosians and Nigerians should support him to fulfil God’s purpose for the country,” Oba Akiolu remarked.
