Don Jazzy, Rita Dominic, Basketmouth speaks on Oba of Lagos anti-Igbo controversy
The CEO of Mavin Records, Don Jazzy, has aired his thoughts on the Oba of Lagos’ statement which threatened death on Igbos who won’t vote for the APC gubernatorial candidate on April 11, 2015.
Several politicians, commentators and celebrities have expressed their thoughts on the highly controversial issue.
The CEO of Mavin Records (popularly now referred to as the Supreme Mavin Dynasty) has come out to air his mind on the Oba of Lagos’ statement which threatened death on Igbos who won’t vote for the APC gubernatorial candidate on April 11, 2015.
Yesterday, April 7, 2015 a Twitter account with the handle @Iam_SkySwag asked Don Jazzy why he had kept quiet about the issue. @Iam_SkySwag also insinuated that because Don Jazzy did not want to talk about the issue because he is close to the Governor of Lagos state, Babatunde Fashola.
The prolific hitmaker munched these tweets directed at him and posted them on his Instagram account. In the caption below the picture, Don Jazzy expressed his thoughts on the whole issue.
“I am a Nigerian first and an Igbo man second. Fashola has treated everyone in Lagos fairly as far as I know and I am proud to be associated with him. #mentor” he wrote.
He further wrote “As a wise/civilized/respectful Igbo man, I will not desecrate the stool of royalty, even tho I totally frown at that recording. But I will tell you for free that we all have the freedom to choose whom to vote for & no one can force you or me to vote as he/she pleases. #IDJA.”
Award winning Nollywood actress Rita Dominic has also shared her thoughts about the whole issue. Using her Instagram account, she reposted the picture of an Instagram user named _chiklo. The text-picture reads “To my Igbo brothers in Lagos, vote whomever you like. You survived the yearly floods in Lekki. Lagoon is nothing.” This refers to the Oba’s statement that any Igbo person who does not vote for the APC Gubernatorial aspirant Akinwunmi Ambode “will perish in the water.”
Reacting, Basketmouth put up a picture of a life jacket on his Instagram account with the caption “Now selling. Call 08055555121 for inquiries. 50% discount for Ibos.”
The last statement is a play on the Oba’s controversial statement that any Igbo person that goes against his directive “will perish in the water.”
