The Lagos State Parks Management Committee chairman, Musiliu Akinsanya, also known as MC Oluomo, has warned Lagosians ahead of the Saturday, March 18 governorship election to stay home if they won’t vote for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

In a viral video, MC Oluomo is seen addressing supporters of the ruling party ahead of the election.

Explicitly referring to non-indigenes, Oluomo said:

“We have begged them. If they don’t want to vote for us, it is not a fight. Tell them, mama Chukwudi, if you don’t want to vote for us, sit down at home. Sit down at home.”

Nigerians on social media have been commenting on the viral video of Mc Oluomo threatening Lagosians over the forthcoming elections.

While some called for the arrest of the APC chieftain, others decried the silence of security agencies over the threats.

FS Yusuf wrote:

“The only reason why MC Oluomo is still walking freely is because he is Yoruba. Should I re-echo the complicity of the police in the electoral violence making rounds in Lagos!????

“Later, Ben Hundeyin will want to go into a disgraceful altercation in defence of their incompetence.”

Dr. Ope Banwo wrote:

“This is MC Oluomo threatening Igbos and ‘Mama Chukwudis’ to stay at home if they don’t want to vote for APC. Shame on this thug and all tribal irredentists seeking to divide us along tribal lines because of elections. Let’s all come out En Mass and put this clown to shame.”

Adeola Fayehun wrote:

“First, he begged, and now he’s threatening Igbos in Lagos ahead of Saturday’s election. If MC Oluomo should be from another ethnicity, he would have been arrested. This is not right!”

Recall that one Koko Zaria, an associate of MC Oluomo, recently threatened Nollywood actresses Adunni Ade and Kemi Afolabi for not supporting the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.

In the video that went viral on social media, Zaria condemned the movie stars in connection with the recently held presidential election. He also said the actresses would know what befell them whenever he meets them face-to-face.
