The Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu met with the leaders of
Ohaneze Ndigbo group led by Chief Ralph Obioha, chairman
of the Caretaker Committee, to resolve issues bordering on the
threat he made to the Igbos resident in Lagos concerning
tomorrow’s governorship election and his demand that they
vote for his chosen candidate, APC’s Akinwunmi Ambode, or
be ready to swim in the lagoon.
According to The Sun, the Oba said people were just making a
mountain out of a molehill.
He explained that he had no hard feelings towards the Igbos
in his kingdom, adding that majority of them who are traders
use his shops at Isale Eko.
He pleaded that the Igbos should just respect his feelings as he
sees Ambode as a son who he wants to see in power. The Oba
who had to break his siesta to meet the Igbo leaders said
everything would be settled after Saturday’s election.
On their part, the Igbo leaders promised they would not hold
any grudge or animosity against the Oba.
Other Igbo leaders at the meeting included Chief Onwuka
Ukwa (Ebonyi State); Chief Haruna Ajah (Ebonyi State); Chief
Ignatius Okamene (Imo State) and Chief Mrs. Pat Udoye
(Ebugu State).
