Despite the fact that traditional rulers are not expected to be partisan, the paramount ruler of Lagos; Oba Rilwan Babatunde Akiolu is making an exception with his support for the All Progressive Congress.
Akiolu on Friday appealed to party members in the state particularly aggrieved aspirants to embrace the party's choice Akinwunmi Ambode for the growth of the party and especially to ensure they win next year's election.

Oba Akiolu who spoke with newsmen in his Palace disclosed that he was happy with the outcome of the primaries and so therefore begged the other contenders to embrace him.
He said "It is not a do- or-die affair. All the candidates that lost the primaries yesterday are members of the same family, they are all my children."

While praising Governor Fashola, Akiolu further revealed that he has instructed Ambode to work with the others to ensure unity in the party.
"I have told the APC Governorship primary winner in Lagos, Akinwunmi Ambode to embrace and work with everybody. We have started recording the victory", he said.
