I will not discriminate against any ethnic group in Lagos || Ambode just has to defend himself

Okay, things are getting interesting in Lagos…

Less than 24 hours after the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, reportedly threatened to punish the Igbos if they vote against APC candidate, Akinwunmi Ambode at the polls, the person of interest, has come out to distance himself from the debacle.


While receiving 20 buses from a group, Nigeria Progressives Ambassadors on Monday, Ambode stated categorically that he will not discriminate against anyone.

How convincing he was… time will tell.

He said: “Every group in Lagos is safe in my hands as governor. I will not discriminate against any religious or ethnic group. It is our Lagos and we must build it together.

“In my acceptance speech after the primaries, I made this known that I will be a governor for all and Lagos is safe in my hands. I want to build on the foundation of unity, peace, progress and development laid by my predecessor.

“I am your best choice for a Lagos that must continue to thrive. And though tongue and tribe may differ we stand in brotherhood in Lagos from the smallest ethnic groups to the major ones.  We are all stakeholders.”
