Forgive Oba Akiolu And Move On, Buhari Tells Igbos by donzubbykamal: 7:39am On Apr 09, 2015
The president-elect, Rtd. General Muhammadu Buhari has urged the Ndigbos and other non-indigenes residing in Lagos state to overlook the anti-tribal comments of Oba of Lagos, Akiolu Rilwan.

Punch reports that the former Head of State pleaded with all Igbos in Lagos state to move on and forgive all that has been said against them for the sake of peace.
Buhari made the call during a rally held on Tuesday in Lagos to address the comments made by the Oba.
Recall that Akiolu has been under fire since Monday when he reportedly threatened the Ndigbo in Lagos to either vote for the APC governorship candidate, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, or perish in the lagoon.
The Peoples Democratic Party on Tuesday asked Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola to suspend Akiolu forthwith.
However, the President-elect described Lagos as home for all, adding that the time had come for Nigerians to look past ethnicity in the general interest of peace and unity.

We are all lagosians, let's not vote like this is the last life we are going to use on earth, lets vote like there is still more years for us, Everybody for the Ambode and nothing will go wrong, Akinwunmi Ambode as offered himself to bring progress to nigeria so why will we lagosians want to let another party come and decieve us, NEVER , we are sharper than that and I believe that lagosians will vote wisely.
My people vote Akinwunmi Ambode as Governor of Lagos state and let's move forward, let the continuity in the good works begin..m.#noshaking

Despite the Obas regrettable comments. We must ask ourselves who each and every one of us is voting for and why. Look at how this country has fared the past 8 years and realise which party has truly catered for our needs as citizens.

Which party has truly been innovative with policies and performance? Which party's States have proven to be a shinning light for other states to follow?

We all know the answers to these questions.

#AMBO2015 #VoteAPC EKO O NI BAJE.

Well said. Lagos is for all of us. There was no tribe or religion in Lagos before JK started his campaign. We have lived peacefully as brothers. Thta one Akiolu said is not the voice of APC. My brothers let us wake up and vote the right man for the job. AMBODE for governor
