, Chief Shakiru Akanni Seriki-Bamu, will be 80 next Monday. He spoke with Group Political Editor EMMANUEL OLADESU on his foray into politics, his relationship with Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and his expectations from the in-coming Sanwo-Olu administration.I thank God. Eighty years is not a joke. I thank God. I thank my people. There is nothing strange. I am grateful to all my people, political leaders and supporters. They ate all happy and I am happy too.
When I completed my secondary modern school, I was looking for job. I followed the elders in our street. For one year, I did not get job. My mother was worried. I told her not to worry. I came to Lagos, stayed with my brother. For that one year, I suffered a lot. As big as I was, I had to be carrying diesel for ship to the supplier. We were at Idumagbo. I will carry the diesel on my head. It will pour on my body.
If not because of Asiwaju, things would have been different. Many people will go to our leader to spoil my name. But, he trusts me. I am loyal to him. He is a good leader. May God prolong his life. He is a great asset to Lagos and Nigeria. We should all come together always and support Asiwaju. He is a great leader, compassionate and always a strategist. He is a symbol of unity. He treats us equally and he listens to us. He is a great leader of the progressives in Nigeria.
What advice did you give to Ambode when it appeared that the party will not give him a second term ticket?
Baba you too appear too demanding. At your age, one does not expect you to be parading yourself around the seat of power. As an elder, Yoruba culture demands hearing from both parties before pronouncing judgment. What proof can you adduce to prove that his wife is responsible?
Change to what, that he stole or he change to serve Lagos state, if Fayose did what Agonise did in Lagos my state could have been better. Pls be courageous enough to tell us that he stop some people from feeding fat on the purse of Lagos state
Was he supposed to be your governor or Lagos governor?
