The Chairman of Lagos State Parks Management Committee, Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, has denied threatening Igbo voters in Lagos State claiming that the Iya Chukwudi referred to in the viral video was present at the meeting at which he spoke.
This follows MC Oluomo’s warning in a viral video shared on Thursday that those who not vote for his party in the governorship and state Houses of Assembly elections.
Referring to an unidentified ‘Iya Chukwudi’ in the crowd, Oluomo urged her to better stay at home if she would not vote for the All Progressives Congress in Saturday’s elections.
He debunked the threat via his Instagram account on Friday.
In the video shared via his Instagram account on Friday, he described Iya Chukwudi as his sister and good neighbour, saying he had always been relating peacefully with Igbo people living and trading in Lagos.
He said, “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,”
