Respected former presidential candidate and social commentator, Pat Utomi has come out to defend Lagos monarch, Oba Rilwan Akiolu whose comments against the Igbos sparked outrage and diverse reactions from Nigerians in the last few days. The king had threatened that anyone, especially Igbos who fail to vote Akin Ambode of APC in Lagos will die in the lagoon within seven days. In defence of the King, Pat Utomi said the king was jesting as he’s used to making such remarks when he’s joking. See his tweets below…...
Pat Utomi @UtomiPat Follow The arena of politics slippery slope. The remarks by the Oba of Lagos are inappropriate but all who know him know he talks so in jest. 10:55 AM - 7 Apr 2015
Pat Utomi @UtomiPat Follow Have known Oba Akiolu for 20yrs. He says worse to me every time we see but I have no doubt he is fond of me. How do you tell outsiders so
Pat Utomi @UtomiPat Follow Typical of Oba as he sees me: Pat go return our land where you built that Lagos Business School. I respond; hold Asiwaju who signed C of O

Buhari apologized for him and Tinubu disowned him as APC spoke person. Only the fools would come out to say he was joking. This act is more offensive than what APC is accusing Fayose of. Now APC is begging for forgiveness. Buhari appreciated the forgiveness he got from everywhere, now it is the turn of APC to forgive as well.

Ndigbo really should stop giving this foolish Oba undeserved attentions he is now getting. I will not pray to GOD to help me beat someone I know very well I can beat anytime and anywhere. Let the Yoruba people bring it on whenever they are ready. Well! If we all have to wait for Yoruba people to get ready for a fight we have to wait until the cows come back from feeding. Please pay no mind to this fool.
