Oba Of Lagos Threatens- You'll die if you fail to vote for Ambode as Governor

Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu has threatened

Igbos in Lagos, saying any Ibo man or woman who

fails to vote Lagos state APC governorship

candidate, Akinwunmi Ambode as Governor in

next Saturday's governorship election will die

within 7 days. According to Oba Akiolu, he owns

Lagos and his bidding must be done by everyone in

the state.

Daily Independent reports that Oba Akiolu gave

out the threat when he met with Igbo leaders

resident in Lagos at his Palace yesterday April

5th.

"On Saturday, if any one of you goes

against Ambode who I picked, that is your

end. If it doesn’t happen within seven

days, just know that I am a bastard and

its 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 undivided

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 inside this water.

For the Igbos and others in Lagos, they

should go where the Oba of Lagos heads to.

When they were coming to the state, they

didn’t 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 ancestors 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 can never

be governor in Lagos for now. The future

belongs to God. I am not begging anybody,

but what you people cannot do in Onitsha,

Aba or anywhere you can not do it here.

If you do what I want, Lagos will continue

to be prosperous for you, if you go against

my wish, you will perish in the water. I am

for the progress, growth and development

in Lagos, Ambode is highly cerebral, he’s a

symbol and he is going to deliver the

message which I the Oba of Lagos have said.

And he will govern the state for another

eight years. He is going on a mission and

God will give him the wisdom and knowledge

to fulfill that mission. Almost a year ago, I

declared that Ambode will be the next

governor of Lagos and it will not change.

From time immemorial, the previous

occupiers of this house will say what they

wanted after consultation with other people.

And this hasn’t change and it will not

change at this time.” he allegedly said
