Jimi Agbaje Writes on the threats to Non-Indigens in Lagos.
"In the words of Winston Churchill: "Never, never, never give up."
I'm aware of the intimidation that a lot of you might be facing as we head into the final stretch of this election campaign. I get it. I understand what you are going through because I also had to face it in the course of this campaign, if this serves as any consolation.
One thing I've learnt in life, however, is that the people who threaten you, knowingly or unknowingly, further validate your importance and underscore advantage. I would like to take this time to encourage you all not to respond to intimidation with violence but rather confront it with the collective power of your votes. Change is coming to Lagos. Tell your friends and families.
I hope you all had a pleasant Easter celebration."-Jimi Agbaje Lagos PDP Gov candidate
Statement from the office of APC Guber candidate in Lagos state Akinwunmi Ambode on the Oba of Lagos alleged threatening statement to the Igbos. Read below...
Every group in Lagos will be 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 note 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 and progress and development laid by my predecessors. 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.
Akinwunmi Ambode - Monday April 6th 2015
