Labour Party’s presidential flagbearer, Peter Obi, explained why he didn’t pay a courtesy visit to the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, during the recently concluded Lagos rally.

Obi revealed while speaking on Monday in a Channels Television interview that he did not purposely neglect to pay homage to the traditional ruler.

Obi debunked the claim that Akiolu refused to see him, declaring it as “untrue.”

“The truth is that when we arrived, we wanted to do what we used to do — arrive, drive to the palace, and see the Oba.

“And we were told that he is not readily available and that we should apply and come at some other date. And that we intend to do because he remains a highly respected father to me and to the entire nation. There is no issue with that,” Obi said.

Obi took his campaign to Lagos over the weekend and visited several markets in the city to canvas for votes.
