Enjoying this story? Read the full magazine — archive back to 1993.

President Goodluck Jonathan arrived Lagos Friday evening, for an undisclosed agenda.

We bet, it may be in connection with 2015.

we hear on good authority that President Jonathan prefers Lagos to Abuja to hold political meetings with South West, South East and South South groups.

The photos here also show that President Jonathan may have included Yoruba Obas as part of the groups he holds court with.

Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, with one of his wives virtually hijacked the reception of the President by deputy governor of Lagos State, Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire.

Makes us wonder whether Adeyemi has joined the president’s protocol train! One of those…monarchs!
