“Non-indigenes in Lagos must respect their me” – Oba of Lagos

“Non-indigenes in Lagos must respect their me” – Oba of Lagos

In an exclusive interview with Punch, the Oba of
Lagos, Riliwanu Akiolu, says there is a need for non-
indigenes in Lagos State to respect the tradition and
culture of their host.

"Eze Odimegwu, who is a former CEO of Nigerian
Breweries, is still my best friend as well as many
others. The Obi of Onitsha came to visit me here a
few days ago. When you go to a place, you have to
respect the host leaders, particularly the traditional
leaders there because you are coming to benefit
from their success. The people of Lagos are the
friendliest and most accommodating people in
Nigeria."

He said the video which showed him issuing threats
to Igbo leaders was a misrepresentation of what truly
transpired. He said the issue was twisted by those
who wanted to gain political advantage ahead of the
governorship election but God put them to shame.
"Those who orchestrated the entire incident know
themselves and I tell you, those (Igbo leaders) who
came here on that day understand me a lot and have
even been coming since then," he said.
