Oba of Lagos meets Osinbajo, prays for Buhari

The Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, met behind closed doors with Acting President Yemi Osinbajo at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja on Thursday.

Addressing State House correspondents later, Akiolu prayed that President Muhammadu Buhari return to Nigeria hale and hearty.

President Buhari had on Sunday extended his 10-day vacation in London in order to complete and receive the results of series of tests recommended by his doctors.

The traditional ruler explained that he was at the Villa to convey the wishes and prayers of his subjects to the acting president.

Akiolu called on Nigerians to be patient with and pray for Buhari’s administration, saying all would be well with the nation if they were sincere, cooperated with the government and criticised constructively.
