Didn't oni of ife say publicly that traditioinal rulers dont canvass openly in favour of a politician or particular candidate?

Whoever appointed this shameless thug as an oba should be skinned alive for such grave and unforgivable mistake.

He should be dethroned immediately to save the 'throne' from further disrepute from that bigoted tout of an oba.

Governor Ambode:
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.
In the heat of hate speech allegation, Mr Ambode, in a statement made available to PREMIUM TIMES Monday afternoon said every group and ethnic is important to build Lagos.

‎”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.

Collynzo9:
Oba of Lagos actually made that statement. Even APC's premium times confirmed it from those who were there.

N If this makes u feel any better ,4 igbos wud be represnting lagos in the house of representatives .

Lastgoat, take your stewpidity elsewhere. The frustrated tout of an oba should learn decency from oni of ife. He has desecrated the 'obaship' with his unguarded and senseless comment.

Silly, useless, bigoted oba-werey

hubreality:

The voice recording of the supposedly Oba's threat to Igbos living in Lagos got uploaded to Soundcloud, just listened to it now.
Power to rule/lead comes from God not man. Kabiyesi may your days be long, Igbos are your good friends and brothers. Let the act of democracy have her way, APC got Lagos already, no need for any kind of tribal threat as every Nigerian has 100% right to vote for whosoever he or she wants...

Billyonaire:
In 1800s, the early settlers in Lagos were the Ile Ife Fishermen and the travelers from Benin Kingdom who ferry slaves to Badagri and Ghana. War broke out between the Benin and Ile-Ife fishermen, both groups were NOT owners of Lagos. The Benin fighters defeated the Ile-Ife fishermen, and in 1836, the Oba of Benin called this land, Eko. It was to be named Lagos by the portuguese later on.

Eko, is the original name and was given to this No Man's land by the Oba of Benin in the 1830s.

Please be guided.

I won't like to write much but mark my words u pple would soon start to say Ogun state is also a no man's land...and u do and say this things cos u know that the yorubas are welcoming people and u take advantage of that.

Faraidi:
This useless oba that is controled by Tinubu.South west kingship is rubbish,it is suppose to be primogeniture

dazangel11:

.if. people like you see fight them no go stand

I am Igbo I am in Lagos and my vote is for agbaje I son sharp my cutlass already igbos fear no baga

raumdeuter:
The Oba owes no one any explanation. He said it and he meant every word of what he said. The message is clear

I just advise those who he addressed to make the necesary adjustment cos when it starts now, Na you go bear the brunt

Oba Akiolu, For saying this, I have found a new level of respect for you.

Any Shidioma, Shidioke or Shiwere who wants electoral post should face Aba, Umuahia or Enugu

BTW this is the sign of things to come in Lagos and the entire Southwest after the election

Silly, useless, bigoted oba-werey

Dannyset:
Though the Oba is a very tough and strong man. But he will never say such. Not in this 21st century will u say something like that when u know the consequences.
Ambode is our next Governor!
PDP should go n hang.

Castos:
This is the real statement, the former was political propaganda from the pit of hell. Igbo's hail your government sir, whether we vote JK or not. You're the Oba and we're highly honoured to be in your aboard.

ArodeTsolaye:


Have you listened to the audio. Download it, it"s less than 1.5mb. Heck, the man can't even speak good english, he just kept shouting Allah!, Allah!. Chei Islam done finish yoruba people. Even Northern Emirs can't be as uncouth this man sounds, very agboroish.

Who made this Bribe-chopping ekelebe policeman an Oba?. Bwhahahaha!. My belle o. Lmao!

BodePolScience:
Obas should know that the people are enlightened enough to choose who they want. Hence they ought to be apolitical. Also, one can say by INFERENCE that the Oba made careless statement by asking people to vote for Ambode(interest of the throne) for peaceful atmosphere and meaningful development and later said (in a fetish manner) that anybody who works against the interest of the throne... will perish in the lagoon. It's like forcing its guests into a covenant. Again, I wonder why our people are talking like tyrants. The truth needs to be told even if we are at fault.

ChinemeOkpan:


The Oba never made those comments! Stop misinforming Nlanders.

ChinemeOkpan:
Enough of this

I will advise people to desist from insulting the Oba of Lagos. Oba Akiolu is the Oba of Lagos; all Lagosians and immigrants from other regions of the country should respect him.

All Lagosians should go out and vote for the candidate of their choice on the 11th of April without fear.

I will enjoin all Lagosians both indigenes and immigrants to vote for continuity so that progress can continue and it also presents a good opportunity to be politically aligned with the center for the first time since 1999.

Ambode no ni Jor

JK is a joker

entparrot:
See how they twisted the whole things, but I will only vote for Jimmy, I'm very tired of tinubu controlling Lagos.

For your information, APC has a flat somewhere in Lekki, that has over 100 computers, they employ some young boys and men they are always online commenting in every social media, they are paid daily.

There is also day and night shift. Please ignore the online propaganda, it's another way of influencing voters.

ozoigbondu:
But he did not deny he threatened them with death if they vote jimi........so he did threaten them what a silly excuse form a leader

superstar1:
Yes Oba made the statement, what will happen.

It is either you live with it or you go back to the gully eroded land of setting sun.

He is on his land and can say and do as he likes.

With or without your vote, Ambode will be the governor.

JK is still our son and you will forever be foreigners and shall be dealt with accordingly.

I thought you are 80% of Lagos, you can as well march to the Oba's palace and demand for his dethronement. I doubt if any of you will return back to your enclave alive.

However, we are expecting your usual whining, shameless, lame, pathetic and emotional ultimatum.

pasol4real:
i think this oba is suffering from orubebetysis ,Some one quickly give him a dose of jegamycin tablets.
