AUTHORITIES in Lagos State are investigating alleged inciteful comments credited to Musiliu Akinsanya better known as MC Oluomo.
Oluomo, the Chairman of the Lagos State Parks Management Committee, is seen in a viral video, threatening Igbos who do not vote for the ruling All Progressives Congress – APC, in the forthcoming governorship and House of Assembly polls.
Although, the famous motto garage boss later downplayed his comments, saying it was a playful one and he was referring to a sister called “Iya Chukwudi” and not Igbos in Lagos.
“So, let us take it for a joke like he has said. But nobody has the right to tell Nigerians not to come out and vote. It is not allowed. It is not possible; not proper. But he has come out to debunk that it is not true. So, let us leave it that way – that it is not true and a joke within one or two persons in that area at that particular point in time. Even the CP of Lagos was on a television programme this afternoon to address that if it is true, they are investigating that matter,” Force spokesman Muyiwa Adejobi said.
He urged Lagosians to disregard any form of threat and “come out to vote” in Saturday’s polls.
“So, we should not be flogging it,” he said, maintaining that if the threat is true, the security agency is “capable” and “ knows what to do”.
