Almost three years after the former ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was defeated by the All Progressives Congress (APC) during the 2015 general elections, the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi III, has revealed why he did not support ex-President Goodluck Jonathan's re-election.

NAIJ.com gathered that the monarch said he would have supported Jonathan if he had preferred to sell his conscience for money during the last general elections.

He said he supported President Muhammadu Buhari because of his uprightness, conscience and integrity.

The monarch, however, noted that those who are used to free money would never like Buhari no matter how people try to convince them.

He said: "People who are used to free money will never like President Muhammadu Buhari, no matter what we say to convince them. If I loved money, I would have supported former President Goodluck Jonathan. Spending was never his problem.Conscience is the reason why I support PMB."
