A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Femi Fani-Kayode, has said Saturday’s governorship election would decide who owns Lagos State.
As Fani-Kayode predicted, Lagos State will confront the toughest test and battle regarding the state’s identity.
He asked Yorubas and those of good conscience to support Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Saturday in a tweet.
He wrote: “On Sat. 18th March Lagos State will face the stiffest test & greatest challenge to its efficacy & identity since it came into existence. The question of who owns Lagos will finally be determined & the guests that seek to claim Yoruba land as their own will be put in their place.
“I urge every son & daughter of the Yoruba together with all men & women of goodwill to come out on that day and vote for @jidesanwoolu who has proved that he is not only a true omo-oluabi but also a first-class leader and administrator.”
In Lagos State, there has been competing between Yorubas and Igbos since the presidential election.
This came after Peter Obi, the presidential candidate for the Labour Party (LP), won the state of Lagos.
After the election, a market in Lagos State with a large Igbo population caught fire, and many assumed political thugs were to blame.
