APC governorship candidate, Teslim Folarin, Thursday, escapes an assassination attempt by the whiskers in Ibadan, Oyo state.

As recounted by Teslim’s special adviser on media and publicity, Olaniyi, a group of masked gunmen invaded his principal’s ancestral home at Oja’gbo area in Ibadan. He stated that the incident occurred at about 8 pm in search of Folarin who had a scheduled meeting with his family members. Olaniyi said: “Oga escaped an assassination attempt on his life this evening. He had a scheduled meeting with his family members at Oja’gbo. As you are aware, he is the one representing his family at the Olubadan line as Asaju Olubadan. So, he was supposed to hold the meeting between 6:30 and 7pm but because he was on air at a radio station, he couldn’t meet up at that time. “He didn’t leave the radio station until around 8:40 pm. So, the gunmen invaded the area around 8pm thinking that he was there and started shooting sporadically and wounded many people.”

“If you won’t vote APC, stay at home” — MC Oluomo

GistReel

MC Oluomo, the Chairman of the Lagos Parks Management Committee, urges those planning to vote for a different party other than APC in the upcoming governorship and state assembly elections in Lagos to stay at home on Saturday, March 18, 2023.

Mc Oluomo

MC Oluomo who is a known supporter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidate, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, made this known during a campaign on Thursday 16th, 2023. In a video that has surfaced online, the union chairman can be seen addressing a large crowd and urging party supporters to tell their neighbours not to bother coming out to vote if they don’t intend to vote for the APC. The warning which was delivered in the Yoruba language may be perceived as a subtle threat even though he stated that it is not.

His speech, loosely translated, says, “We’ve appealed to them, if they won’t vote for us, it’s nothing to fight over. Kindly go and meet them and say Iya Chukwudi, please if you don’t want to vote for us, please sit down at home.” As seen on Twitter, the Igbo community took it as a threat to disenfranchise them from their electoral rights. See some reactions below … @dotcom_ray: “If you have lived in Lagos then you know an average agbero makes empty threats and the moment you resist them, that threat dies down 👎. I see no reason these guys can’t be resisted when you have the numbers no matter the location you are” @5Linus: “@USAGov this man threatening us has your green card, his whole family is in your country. But your secretary told us that they will withdraw visa from electoral disruptors. Your ambassador is aware of the evil going on here.” Watch the video below … If you don’t want to vote for us stay in your house – MC Oluomo threatening the Igbos

It symbolizes the voice of the masses and represents the aspirations of the common Nigerian people. The movement is a testament to the virtues of honesty, integrity, and verified track records, and embodies true dedication to the betterment of our country.” neo_officiall_ said: “I thought he was a baby politician with no structure, why are they all now gumming body with o him?.& & 😂 See ehnnn, so many people will learn to respect that name “Peter Obi” by the time he is done doing what he wants to do to this once great nation.” Big_tee.nah stated: “They’re obviously just trying to sway voters Ey to vote for them cause they know we stand with Obi.
