Peter Obi explains why he couldn’t visit Oba of Lagos during campaign

Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate, clarified that the Oba of Lagos, HRH Rilwan Akiolu, was not immediately available when he requested to visit him during his campaign in Lagos.

While speaking on Channels Television’s The 2023 Verdict, Obi stated that it was not unusual for him to encounter traditional rulers who were not immediately available during his campaign in different states.

He debunked reports that the Oba of Lagos refused to see him, saying that they were planning to reschedule the visit to a future date as the monarch remains a respected father figure to him and the entire nation.
