The Chairman of the Lagos State Parks Management Committee, Musiliu Akinsanya, also known as MC Oluomo, has refuted claims that he made threats against the Igbo community in Lagos State.
Akinsanya stated in a video that he was merely joking with his neighbour, Iya Chukwudi, during a meeting on Thursday.
The transport leader was captured in a viral video urging his members to vote for Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
MC Oluomo, in the video, said, “We have begged them. If they don’t want to vote for us, it doesn’t call for a fight. Iya Chukwudi, if you don’t want to vote for us, stay at home.”
In a recent video released on Friday, MC Oluomo referred to Iya Chukwudi as his sister and a good neighbor.
He stated that he has always maintained a peaceful relationship with Igbo individuals who reside and conduct business in Lagos.
“The meeting I went yesterday, she (Iya Chukwudi) is like my sister, she was the one I was referring to, ‘That Iya Chukwudi if you know you’re not voting for me, sit at home.’ The next thing was that I just saw it on social media.
“I’m always for peace, and if you look at Lagos State, there is peace there, why will I say people should not come out and vote? If they don’t come out to vote, how will the All Progressives Congress get the votes, how will the Igbo not vote for the APC? The APC is my party, count me out of the allegations,” he said.
