Governor of Imo state, Owelle Rochas Okorocha has lambasted the Igbos in Lagos for kicking against the Oba of Lagos who threatened death for the Igbos over failure to vote the All progressives Congress [APC] party in the forthcoming gubernatorial elections.
Okorocha while speaking to journalists in Imo state capital, Owerri, following the visit by president-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, defended the Oba of Lagos and pointed out that the Oba of Lagos was not totally wrong in insisting that Igbos must vote Ambode.
Okorocha went as far as depicting the Igbos as ungrateful during the castigations on the Igbo people.
He said: “Igbos should not portray themselves as ungrateful people, the only way they can show appreciation is by massively voting for APC the party that has protected their lives and properties over these years.”
Governor Okorocha further in a rather more subtle way reiterated the threats by the Oba of Lagos, Retired Policeman AIG Rilwan Akiolu, saying that the APC could make life unbearable for all Igbo traders and resident in Lagos should the Igbos transgress.
Okorocha said: “The Lagos state government led by APC has the capacity to make life unbearable for all Igbo traders and resident in Lagos if they so wish.
“So you see, the Oba was figurative in his speech not necessarily that Igbos will be drowned in Lagoons” the governor added.
