“All non-indigenes of Lagos nobody can decree the day you die, an empty threat” – Bode George

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Leader, Chief Bode George, said the Oba’s statement was uncalled for adding that nobody should be threatened to vote for any candidate.

Speaking at a press conference in Lagos, George condemned the Oba’s utterances and asked him to apologise to the Igbo immediately because as the father of all he has no business dabbling into politics.

While appealing to non-indigenes, particularly Igbo, to come out en-masse and vote for the PDP in the April 11 governorship and State Assembly election, he said the threat was an empty one. ‘’Let me assure all non-indigenes, especially the Igbo, nobody can decree the day you will die. It is just an empty threat”, he said.

George said the PDP deliberately decided to field non-indigenes in areas where they are in majority in the general election as a means of giving them a sense of belonging, a thing the APC failed to do, adding that the APC would lose the governorship election.
