Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, yesterday condemned in very strong terms, the death threat reportedly issued by the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu on the Igbos living in Lagos, saying such habitual intolerance is not a character trait of the quintessential Lagos people.
A bewildered Obanikoro, while appealing to the Igbos not to generalise an average Lagosian with Akiolu’s deliberate intolerance for obvious political reasons, contended that the monarch has shown unambiguous biases despite his place as a custodian of the Lagos traditional institution.
