Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu has threatened Igbos in Lagos, saying any Ibo man or
woman who fails to vote Lagos state APC governorship candidate,
Akinwunmi Ambode as Governor in
next Saturday's
governorship election will die within 7 days. According to Oba Akiolu,
he owns Lagos and his bidding must be done by everyone in the
state.
expdonaloaded reports that Oba Akiolu gave out the threat when he
met with Igbo leaders resident in Lagos at his Palace yesterday April
5th.
"On Saturday, if any one of you goes against Ambode who I picked,
that is your end. If it doesn’t happen within seven days, just know that
I am a bastard and its not my father who gave birth to me. By the grace of God, I am the owner of Lagos for the time being.
This is an undivided chair. The palace belongs to the dead and those
coming in the future. On Saturday,
if anyone of you, I swear in the name
of God, goes against my wish that Ambode will be the next governor of
Lagos state, the person is going to die inside this water.
For the Igbos
and others in Lagos, they should go where the Oba of
Lagos heads to. When they were coming to the state, they didn’t come
with all their houses. But now they have properties in the state. So
they must do my bidding. And that is the bidding of the ancestors of
Lagos and God. I am not ready to beg you. Nobody knew how I picked
Ambode. Jimi is
my blood relation and I told him that he can never be governor in Lagos
for now. The future belongs to God. I am not begging anybody, but what
you people cannot do in Onitsha, Aba or anywhere you can not do it
here.
If you do what I want, Lagos will continue to be prosperous for
you, if you go against my wish, you will perish in the water. I am for
the progress, growth and development in Lagos, Ambode is
highly cerebral, he’s a symbol and he is going to deliver the message
which I the Oba of Lagos have said. And he will govern the state for
another eight years. He is going on a mission and God will give him the
wisdom and
knowledge to fulfill that mission. Almost a year ago, I declared that
Ambode will be the next governor of Lagos and it will not change. From
time immemorial, the previous occupiers of this house will say
what they wanted after consultation with other people. And this hasn’t
change and it will not change at this time.” he allegedly said
