I Will Expose Secrets of Corrupt Leaders after 2015 Elections – Oba of Lagos
After the 2015 general elections, the Oba of Lagos Rilwanu Akiolu may expose corrupt leaders in Nigeria.
The monarch at a book launch held on
Monday 18th August 2014, said he will make known the illegal and corrupt
acts of traditional leaders who pretend not to be corrupt.
His statement was in response to a
recent allegation by another monarch that claimed only two of the
country’s prominent monarchs were free of corruption.
Akiolu refuted the reports, and said that President Goodluck Jonathan is not the reason for the constant rise in corruption.
The Oba of Lagos said that because he
was the Commissioner of Police in charge of criminal investigation at
the time, he has vital information about corrupt acts by traditional
rulers in the South West during General Sani Abacha‘s administration.
He said;
“The monarch that made the statement that I lifted oil will be shocked when I make certain revelations after
the 2015 elections and I think he
should close his eyes in shame because as at that time, I was still
serving in the Nigeria Police and I wonder how I could have such time to
be involved in the lifting of oil.“The monarch that made the statement that I lifted oil will be shocked when I make certain revelations after
One person does not cause the problem of
corruption. So, nobody should blame President Goodluck Jonathan for the
problems in Nigeria, as about 99 per cent of us are guilty of the
syndrome of corruption. So, everyone should be involved in the fight
against corruption.
All hands must be on deck to assist the
government to bring corruption to an end. We should forget the past and
face the future by contributing to the future of the nation.”
