The Labour Party’s Presidential Candidate, Mr Peter Obi, has reacted to the report that the Oba of Lagos, HRH, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, refused to see him the day he campaigned in Lagos State. While reacting Peter Obi described the report as false.
Peter Obi explained that the Oba of Lagos was not readily available when he requested to visit him during his campaign in Lagos State. Peter Obi further noted that what happened in Lagos wasn’t unusual, stating that such thing had happened during his planned visits to traditional rulers in states he had campaigned.
The Labour Party’s Presidential Candidate, made this disclosure on Monday, while speaking on Channels Television’s special election programme, The 2023 Verdict.
Peter Obi said: “The truth is that when we arrived, we wanted to do what we want to do: arrive and drive to the palace and see the Oba but we were told that he is not readily available and that we should apply and come at some other date and that we intend to do because he remains a highly respected father to me and to the entire nation.”
In addition, the former Anambra State governor made it known that one or two monarchs were not readily available to receive him in the past but they fixed future dates.
It should be recalled that it was recently rumoured that the Oba of Lagos, refused to meet Peter Obi last Saturday, the day he had his Presidential Campaign rally in Lagos State.
