Pat Utomi has come out to defend the Oba of Lagos on his alleged threat to life of Igbos in Lagos. The renowned political economist told
Nigerians on Twitter that if they knew the Oba they would have known he only made the statement out of jest and never me...

He further defend him..

This is a very expensive joke from a jester and tout turned oba.This Joke can lead to war with numerous casualities.Numerous tribalistic threads has been created because of this joke.

The damage has already been done this is a very poor attempt at damage control.lf Ambode loses on saturday APC knows who to hold responsible

At this very sensitive moment that we found ourselves, he wasn't supposed to make such jokes. They were too expensive and taken too far.
Meanwhile it wasn't a joke, because if it were, the Oba would have even said so way before now.
Pat Utomi is a wise man, as you all can see, he's only trying to calm the situation and take the attention away from the Oba. I am also only speaking for my Igbo brothers.
Meanwhile, #swimming tinz activated# #lagoon on my mind#

well well.....we can say PEJ as well was joking with the Northerners.

I shouldn't be surprised if life jacket biz is now trending over there in Lag. God do surely bless the hustle.

I just love naija. nothing fit weigh us down. we make opportunities from an opportunity.



N.B
Pls make all my Igbo friends stay away from any form of
water (may it be swimming pool, bath tub, gutter,
ogbara, cup of water and what have you) come Saturday.
God shall watch over us all and surprise our enemies. We
shall not hear stories that touch the bone.

When you listen to the audio below you will agree with him. Clearly the Igbo leaders were laughing and cracking jokes with the Oba after his speech and promising allegiance to him

I said the same yesterday and I got over 50 mentions. Most of them abusing and cursing

It is important that you look at the video to understand his statement contextually. The Igbo leaders there were laughing and smiling, they wont have done so if they felt threatened.

You need to see the response of Igbos on twitter to Pat Utomi's tweets, they have been cursing since morning.

Una go tire and on Monday you will wake up to a brand new shinny Governor- Mr Ambode

you are not just educated you are very very inteligent and you just proved it
the video shows it that its all jesting even the Igbo's that were there are just laughing that shows its just saying it for talking sake

mr pat in"pete edochie voice" obu kwa expensive joke

The Aba Monarch that almost got dethrone for honouring GMB, was that not tribalism too? , When some peeps from SS and SE were making offensive remarks "Stone APC people" most people kept quiet.

The Oba made a bad statement and we have condemned it but why call him names and instigate violence?

After all the noise, a photo of the Oba and Igbo leaders in Lagos will emerge, we will then keep quiet and move to the next topic.

Note: Ben Akabueze is an Igbo man and he's the longest serving commissioner in Lagos State in charge of finance, Budget and planning.

LAGOS- BELONGS TO THE YOURBA'S

ABUJA- BELONGS TO THE GWARRI'S

IGBO SHOULD BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THEIR STATEMENTS.

IF THEY TRY THE NONSENSE THEY ARE DOING IN LAGOS, THEY WILL BE ROASTED. grin

Oga, e Don do. No go burst an artery. Leave Igbo pipu matter Abeg! Since yesterday, haba!

Bottom line - its the tradition of Yoruba to respect and love. #letsstoptribalism #1Nigeria one man's statement does not represent the idea of a tribe

very expensive my brother

Pat, Mr. Akiolu could tell you all that gibberish in your private discussions, but not when he invited a group of Igbo leaders and furiously threatened them as the video depicted. It was an expensive joke to the extent that he must apologise for it, biko!

Prof pat utomi stop that thing you're saying and call a spade a spade. The oba won't be kidding with that statement is he JK? although it was born out of serious rage from past utterances of some people even agbaje himself telling igbos he will elevate them to the level of the oba, Shoro niyen?

A joke? No wonder the Igbo chiefs where laughing

They must have been used to his crude way of jesting and not taken him seriously. Hope he's learnt his lesson on how not to joke.

Also shame on PDP for quickly latching on and politicizing the issue. To garner votes, they didn't care if Lagos burned.

I was shocked to see his take on the matter this afternoon.
What interest is he tryiing to protect, same with Obyezeks.
Oby that should start twitter-screaming now that we are not yet drowned in the lagoon, or will she wait to "Bring back" after the deed has been done.
As for Prof., I was disappointed.
