Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, has read the riot act to Igbo lead­ers and monarchs in Lagos State, warning that he will make life unbearable for them if they sabotage efforts being made to ensure that the governorship candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC) Mr. Akinwunmi Am­bode, emerges as the next governor of the state.

The monarch, who sum­moned all the Eze-Ndigbo in the state to his palace, said the support of their kensmen for the opposition party in the state could frustrate current ef­forts being made in all quarters to ensure that Lagos was no longer in opposition with the Federal Government.

He said: “On Saturday, if anyone of you goes against Ambode, who I picked, that is your end. If it does not happen within seven days, just know that I am a bastard and it is 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 Igbo and others in Lagos, they should go where the Oba of Lagos heads to. When they were coming to the state, they did not 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 could 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 cannot do it here.”

okay sir,
Igbos shouldn't vote ooo! But Yorubas in the East and Rivers must continue to vote.

Chai, Igbos don suffer!

These Yorubas have goooooood leaders.
How can somebody leave his land to come and select your leader for you?
Big Ups to the Oba.
Lagos has been lead by an opposition party for too long. Now there is a golden opportunity and some people from another land are trying to stop it? That's not fair

Inkman:
my biroda!
Is that not like coming to pour 'san-san' inside another man's garri?

Alcatraz001:
We are watching the ibos and all there shenanigans...............m.We told you not to take our gentility for weakness but you refused,hope you are ready for whaats coming?

I hope you have imported area boys from nnewi to help you fight the Agberos? Lagos belongs to Yorubas and it is not a No man's Land as you are fond of saying. Let's see how it goes though....

Remarkable:
But there are Igbo reps in lagos representing Oshodi and co. ... so how is it Yoruba land as opposed to Nigeria-land (since you don't like 'no man's land'?)

abduljabbar4:
But your oil is your own ba? If that's the case then I'm okay.
Lagos is a no mans land, oil is a no regions wealth. Its the wealth on Nigeria

cjrane:
[size=18pt]My dear Oba,
I never really wanted to vote in the gubernatorial election. But, because of your threat, I MUST VOTE NOW!!!

By the way, I SHALL VOTE JIMI AGBAJE!!!
Unless you can convince me he is a Cameroonian.

Now, you can go and hang Sir! Or better still do your worse. Needless to remind you there is something called the reprisal doctrine in Nigeria.

Yeye dey smell [/size]

Ilekeh:
Logical answer.

Remarkable:
I am calling my cousins in FESTAC to ask them to support and vote Jimi... how can you threaten an Igbo man? That's the last thing any wise Nigerian will do. Let's see when the heavens fall if some will be spared while crushing others. Nansense.

owobokiri:
This is what happens when you make an egunje collecting petty police man your oba. Who is this unknown quantity? If a stewpid Akiolu wants Lagos to boil, he should go ahead and try nonsense. Touts dressed in some royal regalia. Empty threats won't fly. APC must be forced to feel the heat for all the Tinubu/fashola anti igbo policies come election day. Heavy taxes, heavy toles, deportations and intimidations in market places. Those are APCs legacies against the igbo in Lagos. It is payback time. Oba Akiolu should stop throwing tantrums and face the issues.
