Anti-igbo Comment: Ambode Disowns Oba Of Lagos, Says, “every Ethnic Group Safe.. by midolian(m): 6:48pm On Apr 06, 2015 |
The governorship candidate of the All Progressive Congress in Lagos, Akinwumi Ambode, on Monday said if elected, he would promote the interest of every ethnic groups within the state. Mr. Ambode, the Lagos APC and the Oba of Lagos, Riliwan Akiolu, have come under fire from Nigerians following a report credited to the Oba that Igbos in Lagos would perish in the lagoon should they fail to vote for Mr. Ambode, his choice for Lagos governorship. Mr. Ambode is facing stiff opposition from the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Jimi Agbaje, whose party performed well at the March 28 presidential and national assembly elections. ”Every group in Lagos will be safe in my hands as governor,” Mr. Ambode said. “I will not discriminate against any religious or ethnic group. It is our Lagos and we must build it together,” he said. The former Lagos state accountant-general added that he would be a governor for all. “In my acceptance speech after the primaries I made this note that I will be a governor for all and Lagos is safe in my hands. I want to build on the foundation of unity, peace and progress and development laid by my predecessors. “And though tongue and tribe may differ, we stand in brotherhood in Lagos from the smallest ethnic groups to the major ones. We are all stakeholders,” the APC candidate said. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/180682-anti-igbo-comment-ambode-disowns-oba-of-lagos-says-every-ethnic-group-safe-under-me.html |

midolian: Sorry I didn't say Igbos are powerful, but they are becoming powerful. Igbos won 3 house of Representative seats in Lagos on March 28. Hope u are aware? Subsequent elections in Lagos State will prove to you the unfolding reality of the Igboness of an Igbo man. Saturday wil become the springbord. Not too long from now, an Igbo man will rule Lagos. Mark my word. |

kaorama:@ the emboldened, lool..buh let's be frank with ourselves, no matter how PDP tries to jiggle and wriggle it, they can't win lagos..they may win later in the future but not in this century. ...Nothing is impossible. An igbo man may rule lagos later in the future if God wills. |

midolian: The Igboness of an Igbo man here connotes the doggedness, resilience, and highly republican nature of an Igbo man. I do not intend to present an Ignoy man here as an almighty. Thank God u have acknowledged that fact that with God an Igbo man could one day rule Lagos state. |
