“Hope Obidiots believe now that Lagos belongs to Yorubas” — MC Oluomo

The NURTW chairman Lagos Chairman, Musiliu Akinsanya alias Mc Oluomo, mocks supporters of Labour Party ‘Obidients‘ on how Lagos belongs to Yorubas.

This comes following the widespread claim that ‘Lagos is a no man’s land‘ which stirred tribal claims during the campaign of the Labour Party’s candidate, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour. In a post via Instagram, MC Oluomo referred to Obidients as ‘Obidiots’ amidst the perceived win of the incumbent governor of Lagos State. The union chairman shared a Yoruba song that loosely translates, “they are deceiving themselves, they can’t take our lands.” Sharing the video, he captioned it, “Hope the Obidiots believes now that Lagos belongs to Yoruba and they’re now facing the consequences of Lagos being no man’s land.”

APC chieftain, Bayo Onanuga has given a remark that the Igbo should not “interference in Lagos politics“ any longer.

Bayo Onanuga took to his official Twitter account, where he made his remark known.

This comment trailed the notion, “Lagos is no man’s land”, a statement that appears to have triggered many. He further states that Lagos is a state in Yoruba land and as such, should not be tagged “no man’s land”, as it is a state just like every other in Nigeria. Bayo wrote in a tweet: “Let 2023 be the last time of lgbo interference in Lagos politics. Let there be no repeat in 2027. Lagos is like Anambra, Imo, any Nigerian state. It is not No Man’s Land, not Federal Capital Territory. It is Yoruba land. Mind your business.” See the post below;

“Typical of bad losers” — APC ridicules GRV for saying ‘Lagos will catch fire’

In response to alleged threats made by the Labour Party’s governorship flag-bearer, Mr. Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour (GRV), during Saturday’s election, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State has criticized his lack of sportsmanship. During the gubernatorial elections, GRV had alleged that a party member of his was shot and killed. He called out APC and INEC to impose an order to avoid a reaction that may cause ‘Lagos to catch fire.’ According to a statement released on Saturday, the ruling party’s Publicity Secretary in the state, Mr. Seye Oladejo, expressed that the APC had no justification for violence. “The attention of the APC has been drawn to a statement made by LP’s governorship candidate Mr Gbadebo Chinedu Rhodes-Vivour on Saturday’s elections. “He accused INEC and the police of `provoking Lagosians’ and warning that `if tonight Lagos State catches fire, it is not our fault’. He says `a lot of places are still under attack by thugs and hooligans of the APC. “This scaremongering is typical of bad losers who lack the spirit of sportsmanship,’’ Oladejo stated. “Should there be any breakdown of law and order in any part of our state, law enforcement agencies should know who to grab – Mr Rhodes-Vivour,’’ he added.

“Now the LP candidate is playing the victim. This old trick won’t work; discerning Lagosians know they are all lies deployed to attract sympathy. “Our party has no need to be violent because we are sure of the glittering credentials of our governorship candidate, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu who will never be associated with violence. “We advise LP and its candidate to embrace peace instead of threatening to bring down the roof on everybody. It won’t work,’’ Oladejo stressed.

INEC staff in Surulere Lagos accosted for saying results will only be uploaded at RAC center

INEC staff deployed to PU059 in Surulere, Lagos state has said that they cannot upload the governorship and state house of assembly election results directly from the polling unit.
