The
paramount ruler of Lagos State, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, has disclosed that none of
his children can succeed him.
Oba
Akiolu spoke on Wednesday at the Metropolitan Club in Victoria Island, Lagos,
where two books – The Life of James Pinson Labulo Davis – A Colossus of
Victorian Lagos and Worthy in Character and Learning, which is a collection of
lectures and addresses by the Founder of Lagoon Hospitals, Adeyemo Elebute,
were presented to the public.
“Anyone coming after me to be the Oba of Lagos
will do more than I can do. Although I have told my children never to think
that they will succeed me because they still have a lot to learn. They are not
well grounded in the things I know.
“Oba
Adeyinka Oyekan taught me on a lot of things that I know and have built on
those things today. My being a policeman and lawyer helped me to become well
grounded and not easily fooled in politics,” Oba Akiolu stated.
This
seems to be a curse in the Yoruba land but the king has said it.
The paramount ruler also called on Nigerians to stop blaming Jonathan for the problems the country is facing, noting that former president Olusegun Obasanjo is the architect of the problems and should be held accountable.
