According to a report by Punch, the Oba of Lagos, Riliwanu Akiolu is calling on all non-indigenes in Lagos State to respect the tradition and culture of their host. In his worlds;....“Eze Odimegwu, who is a former CEO of Nigerian Breweries, is still my best friend as well as many others. The Obi of Onitsha came to visit me here a few days ago. When you go to a place, you have to respect the host leaders, particularly the traditional leaders there because you are coming to benefit from their success. The people of Lagos are the friendliest and most accommodating people in Nigeria.”
You would recall the video in which he {the Oba} was seen blabbing against Ndigbo living in Lagos state, before the April 11th governorship elections, he said that video which showed him issuing threats to Igbo leaders was a misrepresentation of what truly transpired. He said the issue was twisted by those who wanted to gain political advantage ahead of the governorship election but God put them to shame.
“Those who orchestrated the entire incident know themselves and I tell you, those (Igbo leaders) who came here on that day understand me a lot and have even been coming since then,” he said.
