The Afenifere Renewal Group yesterday condemned the attacks on the Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, over the incendiary statement he made at a meeting with Igbo leaders living in the state, reiterating the threat of the monarch that those working against the interest of the state would be swalllowed by the lagoon.

The group said: “It is believed that those working against Lagos interest would be swallowed up by the lagoon.”

It however, congratulated all elected officials in the South-west states for their victory during the just concluded elections, while thanking all the voters in the region for voting their conscience and for voting peacefully.

The Afenifere Renewal Group expressed disappointment with the scale of attacks on the monarch in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Kunle Famoriyo, saying those hiding under democracy “to malign the person and office of Akiolu must not forget that democracy cannot obliterate traditions and cultural privileges.”

It explained that the Yoruba culture “is self-regulatory and leaves room for check and balances. No one needs to teach us how to put our house in order. We therefore condemn all the uncharitable calls for sanctions and apologies.

“For explanatory purpose, it must be emphasised that the Oba is supreme in Yoruba cultural context and in Lagos, the lagoon is seen in the traditional context as the defender of Lagos’ interest. It is believed that those working against Lagos’ interest would be swallowed up by the lagoon.
