The Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwanu Akiolu, has
advised President Muhammadu Buhari to change his leadership style, saying the
president should know that he is not a military ruler.
The traditional ruler who said this while
making a speech at the opening of SunTrust Bank Limited in Lagos Monday, also
urged the president to always listen to advice on how best to govern the
country.
Akiolu also faulted the measures being
adopted by the federal government in tackling the decay caused by the immediate
past government, stressing that all that happened in the past government were
not caused by former president, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.
“All of us just have to support the president
and I advise him to know that he is no more a military man. I am not afraid to
say that. On the measures they are taking to tackle the rot of the past, honestly,
whether they like it or not, it was not totally the fault of Jonathan.
“I don’t hide the fact that he (Jonathan) is
my personal friend. All that happened was not totally his fault. But it is not
too late to make amend. With Prof. Yemi Osinbajo as head of economic team, with
people like Mrs. Nike Akande as the President of the Lagos Chamber of Commerce
and Industry and others, they (the federal government) should listen to advice
from people in commercial sector of the economy,”.
