Igbos Forgive Oba Akiolu And Vote For APC - Buhari by milestonejnr(m): 6:20am On Apr 08, 2015
President-elect,Gen.Buhari has called on all Igbos to forgive Oba Akiolu and move on.He said Fashola has done a great job so far and it's in the interest of all to vote APC.Speaking at a rally in Lagos yesterday, he said.

“I admire what your governor has done in terms of mobilising revenue to sustain Lagos development. I have a lot of respect for Governor Fashola for his hard work, commitment to the state and the country. There is no doubt that Lagos is a mini-Nigeria. We are all here and it has been mentioned by previous speakers that everybody (tribe) is adequately represented in Lagos.“So, I assure you. If you vote for the continuity of APC in Lagos, you stand to gain more. It is in your interest that you vote for the APC....

“Please when you go home tell your neighbours, relatives and even the opposition to please bury the hatchet. Let them fall in line and vote the APC.
“When we were coming in our bus, Fashola told me how Lagos State had been spending to maintain the federal infrastructure here such as buildings, roads and other institutions. I had promised before that if I won the election and became the President, I would make Lagos my priority. Governor Fashola is already holding to me to that promise so I would like the incoming governor to listen carefully and make sure he makes me honour my undertaking.

The National Chairman of the APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, said Lagos was responsible for building the opposition and ensuring that it finally took control of the centre.

He said it would be a great injustice for Lagos to become an opposition state after working so hard to build a bright future.

JIMI AGBAJE
** You want to remove Lekki Toll Gate, Yet Airport Toll Gate own By FG Is milking Lagosians Dry.
** You promised 150,000 housing units, yet Jonathan could only build 30,000(at a cost of 2million = N3 Trillion Naira. Where u wan see the money @N467 billion Lagos yearly budget).
** You Promised to reduce tax, Yet Jonathan set up tax review which suggested increase in taxes(Moreover, Jaykay Pharmacy pay tax ni?)
** You want to abolish Lastma, Kai, Lamata etc, Yet Ferma, Sure-P, etc held sway in your party.
** You want to pay Lagos Worker Minimum wage, as "Governor to be" did you ask the workers if they are not already enjoying N18,760.00 In Lagos.
** You said you will stop the Public Private Partnership used to build the Ikoyi Link Road, where will you raise 29Billion to make repayment. Moreover, your PDP Federal Government signed PPP agreement to build 2nd Niger bridge for N129 Billion.
Jimi Agbaje, why are you promising what you know you cannot reverse to win cheap votes?
Jimi Agbaje, what do you really have for Lagosians?
Jimi Agbaje, Why are you pitting Igbos against Lagosians?

It will be foolhardy if we don't take Akiolu's word for it....We must show Nigerians that we cannot be stopped by threats,we must thumb our noses at Akiolu for posterity because incidences like this will still occur until we show morons like Akiolu and his minions some lesson.We must put down markers that no one has the monopoly of violence or threats,we must prove to the APC hierachy that you cannot offord to take the igbos for granted.Like the outrage following Charlie hebdo,Kenyan massacre etc we must come out in our hundreds of thousands in protest votes and change the course of Lagos.We must come out and exercise our civic duty because the power lies in our PVC. Akiolu doesn't have to apologise but he must get a reaction,a nasty response at the polls we gurantee him.......Our strenght is in our massive numbers.

Lagos and Rivers can never be won by PDP in a free and fair election, and if PDP try to rig it, APC will take it back through judiciary.

The Yorubas faced more than verbal attacks from GEJ regime. APC was called a Yoruba party, any pro-APC candidate is called Tinubu's cronies, and the entire race was wrapped up as a slaving tribe for the North. As we can all see, the intent and desire of every single Yoruba is a unified political front, a matured one, where we are recognized and fully represented. To my Ibo brothers, the Oba made a terrible blunder by uttering those unguarded statement, but as horrible as they seem, every Yoruba and Ibo have said worse to themselves openly, and on nairaland, and I am extremely distressed if this is the excuse the Igbos are looking for to vote for Agbaje. When did Agbaje become an Ibo man? And when did electioneering become all about sentiments, tribalism, ill-feeling or hate or religion? My Ibo people made this blunder by putting their entire eggs into the PDP basket, and we all know where that leaves you right now. Please, dont repeat this same error in Lagos, and stack your votes for the opposition and in the end, suffer after Ambode wins. It wouldnt bode well if he wins, knowing how much the Ibos wanted him to lose, and this would lead to a lot of regression on the Ibos political foray in Lagos State, a state I believe would be having an Ibo governor in the foreseeable future. Please, lets be matured, grow beyond mere pettiness and act in a politically matured manner. The King made a blunder, he's a king, and not god, and we should learn to forgive...afterall, that is the spirit of Chrisainity, a religion that's the fort of the Ibos. Ibo Kwenu! I hail!

What excites your nerves in being a staunch tribalist robot?! I'm sure you had already made up your mind even before the Oba made a mistake of saying what he said. I know the Oba's mistake will not stop literate and civil Igbos from voting for Ambode.

Going by what Agbaje said, the Federal and state government have to be in the same party to give Lagos state the best ground for ideal federal support and thus, development. Now is the time to take his advice.

I pledge to be an agent of development!

And you honestly think he will apologize?

Doing will make him a coward and that's a stain to the throne. Some Nigerians have said far worse things and they didn't apologize, u then expect an apology from a king.

Secondly,why are they all on their knees begging us to change our mind,i thought they claimed our number is insignificant in Lagos.
This really shows that lagos is a no man's land or better still the igbos are the real owners and movers of lagos.imagine Apc has to hire a whole president to be to beg us as damage control.
Well,that is very good.

Enough of all the 'igbo' ish. If they are not relevant like most Nairalanders usually say, then let them be.
Its sickening that some people here tried to justify what the Oba said. If they are irrelevant, then let them be. Instead of others begging and appealing to the Igbos, it would have been prudent for the palace spokesperson to issue an apologetic statement for damage control. It irks me when I see Nigerians insulting the Oba because of that speech, even kids. Let him respect these people's choice and they will respect the throne back.

Leaders of Traditional, religious, multinational corporations, institutions etc should be politically neutral. Call a spade a spade!!!. I even feel for the Agbaje guy sef. Your king clearly not supporting you.

Let all Lagosians go out on Saturday and vote for their various choices. All these polity heating up will end in no good for everyone.
