Jimi Agbaje, PDP gubernatorial candidate for Lagos State has responded to threats made by the Oba of Lagos Rilwan Akiolu, (click here if you missed it), stating that Igbos would perish in the lagoon if they do not vote for the Lagos State APC governorship candidate, Akinwunmi Ambode.
According to a Punch report, Agbaje while addressing Igbo traders at the Alaba International Market on Thursday urged them to push the All Progressives Congress ‘into the lagoon’ by voting for him on Saturday.
“Election is like a snake. You have to make sure you win by killing the snake completely by using your votes to drive the APC out of power. The reason why they are harassing you is because they fear Igbo votes. They will try to do ‘shakara’ for you but you must vote massively for the PDP and protect your votes…
In the last 16 years, the APC has been full of arrogance. This arrogance must end once and for all. Saturday is the time to say enough is enough…
God is on our side and power will change hands on Saturday and life will be better for you and your businesses. There will be no oppression again because this election is about freedom from bondage.”
