Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, has read the riot act to Igbo lead¬ers and monarchs in Lagos State, warning that he will make life unbearable for them if they sabotage efforts being made to ensure that the governorship candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC) Mr. Akinwunmi Am¬bode, emerges as the next governor of the state. The monarch, who sum¬moned all the Eze-Ndigbo in the state to his palace, said the support of their kensmen for the opposition party in the state could
frustrate current ef¬forts being made in all quarters to ensure that Lagos was no longer in opposition with the Federal Government.

He said: “On Saturday, if anyone of you goes against Ambode, who I picked, that is your end. If it does not happen within seven days, just know that I am a bastard and it is not my father who gave birth to me.
“By the grace of God, I am the owner of Lagos for the time being. This is an undivid¬ed chair. The palace belongs to the dead and those coming in the future. On Saturday, if anyone of you, I swear in the name of God, goes against my wish that Ambode will be the next governor of Lagos State, the person is going to die in¬side this water.
“For the Igbo and others in Lagos, they should go where the Oba of Lagos heads to. When they were coming to the state, they did not come with all their houses. But now, they have properties in the state. So they must do my bidding. And that is the bidding of the ances¬tors of Lagos and God.
“I am not ready to beg you. Nobody knew how I picked Ambode. Jimi is my blood relation and I told him that he could never be governor in Lagos for now. The future belongs to God. I am not beg¬ging anybody, but what you people cannot do in Onitsha, Aba or anywhere you cannot do it here.”

@jesse: that oba needs to be sanctioned. Electorates have the decisive power as to who they vote for, which is the beauty of democracy. Oba utterances is a big disappointment to APC, Lagosians & Anyone who truely loves peace. i think he was under a spell when he made such statement. Believe me, sooner or later he will apologise for his unruly behaviour
Jesse Osayande Vucinic Ehiagwina
@ Endy. There's no beauty in democracy really. Coercion is a big part of politics everywhere in one form or the other. Financial coercion is the most paramount in our country.

If Kabiesi Trully Said That- I will say it's rather unfortunate of him with all due respect-- nobody has any right to imposed someone on anybody, am giving my vote to Ambode for continuity bcos Apc as a whole has impressed me in lagos for a while now but that does not give any right to command others to follow my decision. It's does speaks well of His Status!

We need to leave lagos and establish our land for our time is up.10years is enough for the eastern part to look like lagos and by 30years time like dubai or hungary.igbo men has the capability to create that y lagos is like this today.if not for the progress the igbos are making,how would lagos generate her income through taxes.yoruba indegen can confirm these,check the igbos in your places of occupation and tell the TRUTH.I only pity igbos who OWN houses here.

Clement Olabode
It is absolutely true check vanguard or this day news papers. It is highly obnoxious to hear such expensive statement from a royal father who is supposed to be neutral and preach peace. Though, that is more reason why we need change in Lagos because of sycophant like him who solely depend on Lagos pples sweat. We must all reject their candidate(Ambod

Tribal war? So sorry 4 who will think of such. The ibo's as we are popularly called don't look 4 trouble but don't look d their trouble. They fight like the israelites. Let them check history what happened in kano in 1991.
Otunba Abayomi Ojo
Gideon Bigtyme, u are so childish! U went to school in yorubaland, live among them and probably making money in yorubaland, and u still hate them? May God forgive u.

Lagos belongs to all Nigerians. Lagos as a former capital city of Nigeria is the common heritage of all Nigerians. No one person or group should claim ownership of Lagos. Lagos was developed (and is still being developed) by all Nigerians and with resources from all parts of Nigeria, especially resources from south east and south south. So, no selfish tendencies from anybody in Lagos should be tolerated no matter his or her status.
Yetunde Folashade Lawal Onuegbu
Must u pple believe all u read in papers and do copy and paste! sure d oba was quoted out of context
Nkesi Waliezi
The Oba has mystical power to make the lagoon to flow beyond it's shore. there by causing heavy flood that will kill people like in the days of Noah of the Holy Bible. So Ibos should leave Lagos after voting bcos d flood go cover every part of Lagos. Hahahaha. #Up PDP#
Amaechi Paulo Bienonwu
Like dis no lgbo will like to vote for apc bco's day hv notin to give us .jk all d way
Nkesi Waliezi
@ Yetunde: Oba quoted out of context? Yet in his clarification, he did med mention of lagoon, Ibo n betrayal. How do u reconcile all that with voting Ambode?
