The Oba of Lagos, Rilwanu Akiolu’s comment that any Igbo man votes for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Saturday’s governorship election will die by drowning has sparked outrage across the country, with individuals accusing the monarch of threatening and intimidating the Igbo residents for holding contrary political views from his.
Akiolu, who made the comment during a courtesy visit to him by Eze Ndigbos (Igbo traditional rulers) in all the local governments in Lagos, has tried to mitigate the backlash by issuing a statement saying he was misunderstood.
