The Correct Report Of What Transpired Between The Oba Of Lagos And The Igbos. by farem: 2:34pm On Apr 06, 2015
THIS IS THE CORRECT REPORT OF WHAT TRANSPIRED BETWEEN THE OBA OF LAGOS AND THE IGBOS.

Oba Akiolu appeals to Igbo Lagosians to vote Ambode
The paramount ruler of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu has appealed to Igbo residents in the state to vote for the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode.
The Oba made the appeal on Sunday when he met with Igbo leaders in his palace.
He urged them to swing their votes to the APC because he personally chose the governorship candidate of the party. It was believed that Igbo residents of Lagos, voted unanimously for the Peoples Democratic Party in the 28 March elections.
The Lagos Oba was visibly angry during his address and said he was not begging, but giving an instruction as to what he expected his Igbo citizens to do.
“I’m not ready to beg you. Nobody knew how I picked Ambode. Jimi (Agbaje) 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, don’t do it here. If you do what I want, Lagos will continue to be prosperous for you”.
The monarch said anybody against Ambode does not wish the state well.
“I am for the progress, growth and development of 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 fulfil 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 changed and it will not change at this time.”
Akiolu restated what he has always said that Goodluck Jonathan administration did not cause the crisis in Nigeria, but that the crisis was caused by another person he refused to name.
“If not for the appeal from Asiwaju (Bola Tinubu) and my highly respected maternal father, the Awujale of Ijebuland, all what is happening today is not the cause of the present government. The man who caused everything knows himself”.
In his response, the Eze-Ndigbo of Amuwo-Oriade, Dr. Gordian Dimojiaku, promised that Igbo in Lagos would support Ambode.
“The mistake of last Saturday was caused by everybody, not only the Igbo. It is not only the Igbo that were responsible for the votes.
“But we have learnt our lesson. Saturday’s election is going to be a different thing and Ambode is going to win. Everybody knows that when you fail the first time, you cannot afford to fail again. We are going to tell our people that Ezes from the 20 Local Governments and 37 Local Council Development Areas are here and that we have sworn with the Oba that we are going to make sure that Ambode wins next Saturday’s election.”

"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 "CHANGED" and it will not "CHANGE" at this time.”

Is this not the season of change? The wind of change is here, and has favoured Agbaje. Oba should beware of change before it enters the park, sorry palace.

Responding, Mr. Ojiako promised Mr. Akiolu that the Igbos would support the APC in the gubernatorial election in the state.
“The mistake of last Saturday was caused by everybody, not only the Igbos. It is not only the Igbos that were responsible for the votes. But we have learnt our lesson. Saturday’s election is going to be a different thing and Ambode is going to win,” Mr. Ojiako, who spoke on behalf of the Igbo Chiefs, reportedly said.
“Everybody knows that when you fail the first time, you cannot afford to fail again. We are going to tell our people that Ezes from the 20 local governments and 37 local council development areas are here and that we have sworn with the Oba that we are going to make sure that Ambode wins next Saturday’s election.”

They have already complied.
