The Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, has backed President Jonathan’s call for a peaceful and violence-free 2015 elections.
In an interview on Friday with Channels Television correspondent, Kelvin Obeten, the monarch appealed to politicians to play by rules of the game and to display sense of maturity, which he said is the only way the nation’s democracy can thrive.
“I want a peaceful conduct of the election, the vote of the people should count and (I want) the support of every Nigerian to overcome our security challenges.
“All our leaders must be honest to a fault. We’ve all heard what the number one citizen said that he wants a peaceful conduct of elections… If they keep to it all will be well,” he said
