The oba of Lagos, Oba Riliwan Akiolu has said President Muhammadu Buhari is a man of his words and will be victorious in the forthcoming presidential election.

Legit.ng gathers that he assured Buhari that there would be a repeat of his 2015 electoral victory in the coming election.

Akiolu said: “Give Buhari another chance and you will see how Nigeria will move forward."

The monarch decried the rot that past administrations left behind in the country.

He said: “We should not go back to the past again. Now that you are here, Isha Allau, on Feb. 16, God will open the way for you. The best will happen to you."

He said: “I appreciate all you have said and I assure you that I will continue to do my best. The promise we made through our party in 2015, our country needs to be secured and properly managed.

“If there is no security, we cannot do anything no matter your resources. We thank God our efforts have brought some fruits."

He said that his government was working hard to end importation of rice and ensure self-dependence.

Buhari said: “We can feed ourselves and the money we save, we can put it in infrastructure; we are building the roads, we are building the rails and we are building power.

“But the failure of former administrations in spite of enormous revenue they got to develop infrastructure is amazing."

He commended the Minister of Works, Power and Housing, Babatunde Fashola on his hard work and efficiency for keeping contractors on their toes, saying that he had done creditably well.
