Blame Obasanjo, not Jonathan for infrastructure decay in Lagos— Oba Akiolu



Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu I, on Wednesday, said that residents of Lagos should desist from blaming the president over infrastructure deficit  in the state, rather, former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo should be held responsible.

He spoke at the public presentation of the book titled; “The life of James Pinson Labulo Davies: A colossus of Victorian Lagos and Worthy in character and learning,” authored by Prof. Elebute at the Metropolitan Club, Lagos.

Akiolu lamented that the eight  years administration of Obasanjo which begun in 1999 and ended in 2007 denied the state of its due rights.
According to the Oba, “I told the President about six days ago that no one should play politics with development.

“Many of the problems for which we are blaming him, although he has his own challenges, were created by the Obasanjo’s administration.”

Oba Akiolu also stated that none of his children can succeed him as the Oba of Lagos.
