I’m not Emir of Lagos, Sarkin Fulani clears air
, has debunked the insinuations making the round that he has plan to transmute to an Emir in Lagos State, saying “the insinuation is far from the truth.” He warned that the cordial relationship between the good people of Lagos State and the Fulani residents which have been in existence for over a century should be preserved.
The monarch disclosed that the rumours emanated from an interview he granted some foreign media personnel doing a documentary on Nigeria, saying the documentaries are not secret documents as they are already published and in public domain for whoever has interest to go through.
While asserting that His Royal Majesty, Oba Rilwan Akiolu of Lagos, is like a father to him, Bambado pointed out that “having a Sarkin Fulani in any state is like having Eze Ndigbo as well as Yoruba Obas in other states across the nation,” emphasising that “there is no way these tribe leaders can claim equality with the owners of the land.”
He challenged anybody to show any insignia around his palace that suggests that he is planning a transformation to the status of an Emir in Lagos to come out with proof just as he urged the good people of Lagos State, South-West and the whole country to disregard the erroneous insinuations from the people he describes as, “the enemies of Nigeria.”
