The Oba of Lagos, Oba Riliwanu Akiolu has said that he liked President Muhammadu Buhari because the President meant well for the development of Nigeria.
“He has good intention for Nigeria and that was why I like him. I often pray for the President to achieve his campaign promises.
Oba Akiolu Akiolu who made the appeal during a courtesy visit by a delegation from Kebbi State led by the state governor, Atiku Bagudu, to his Palace, called on Nigerians to pray for the President. “
He needs God’s intervention to address the country challenges. He needs God’s intervention to achieve his aim. And I know that if we pray for him, by this time next year, the economic challenges we are experiencing would cease. And we will all have reasons to smile.”
The Oba also appealed to Nigerians to patronize Made-in-Nigeria goods because it would help create more employments for Nigerians.
Governor Bagudu had said that the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu facilitated the partnership between Lagos and Kebbi state on the establishment of a commodity value chain and appealed to other governors to adopt the strategy. “Infact, yesterday, he (Tinubu) saw me at the Economic retreat in Abuja, asking the progress made on the partnership. That showed how keen he was to ensure that the partnership works.”
according to him, this is the kind of partnership which the founding fathers of the country clamoured for after the country’s independence and that it helped the country’s economy to grow. [myad]
