The oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu has described former President Olusegun Obasanjo as a troublemaker who always arrogates power to himself. Akiolu took a swipe at the former president on Wednesday when participants of the senior executive course (41) of the National Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS) visited him at his palace in Lagos.
Ahead of the 2019 elections, Obasanjo was against the reelection of President Muhammadu Buhari. But the monarch ascribed the president’s eventual victory to God. “I had said that Buhari would win even before the election, unfortunately, the number one person creating problems in this country is former president Obasanjo,” he said.
“He arrogated to himself the powers of the Almighty Allah by saying it was the support he gave to Buhari that made him win the first term. “Obasanjo said Buhari would not win the second term, but did Buhari not win? Did I not say Obasanjo will be disappointed by the time the results were announced.
