The Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu has asked Nigerians to give President Muhammadu Buhari another term of four years as the country’s leader to complete the work he has started.

Speaking at the opening ceremony of the 17th Lagos State Housing Fair on Monday, Oba Akiolu stressed that President Buhari needed another opportunity to improve the country’s economy.

Akiolu said: “Buhari has to do more, I agree but we all have to assist by giving him another four years and see where he will take Nigeria to. I am supporting what is good for Nigeria.

“In 2011, Buhari sent Tony Momoh to me that he was coming to meet the leaders of Lagos in my palace by 1pm. He came by 3 pm and said he was delayed by bad roads and traffic. I told him he caused it because he cancelled the Metro Line of Lagos State in 1984. I told him I would not tell Lagos people to vote for him.

“But in 2015 when he came, it was on a Friday, he came with my son, Bola Tinubu and I noticed that for 20 minutes, it rained. It occurred to me that God is going to favour this man.

“I prefer Buhari to Obasanjo. Obasanjo keeps deceiving people for what he is after. But if Buhari is given another chance and God gives him good health and he chooses the right people to work with, Nigeria will be a better place.”

While calling on the Federal Government to revisit the nation’s security policies as a way of tackling the security challenges across the country, the monarch advised Nigerians to work in unity in the fight against corruption and terrorism.
