The son of Lagos State Parks Management Committee Chairman, Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, Idowu Akinsanya, has triggered reaction on social media after sending a cryptic congratulatory message to his father over All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential election results announced so far.
Raye24reporters understands that Akinsanya congratulated his father via his Instastories earlier on Tuesday, saying he sacrificed Lagos State to win Nigeria (referring to APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu‘s wide margin ahead of his opponents in the 2023 presidential election despite losing Lagos).
“Congratulations Dad… You all sacrificed Lagos to win Nigeria,” – @king_westt wrote on the social app.
See the post below:
Idowu’s message came after the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, was declared winner of the presidential election in Lagos, defeating Tinubu and other contestants.
However, MC Oluomo’s son’s congratulatory message has been attracting attention on social media. See how some Nigerians reacted to the post below:
AdaEze @BeautifulAda5 – “I saw this plan coming. I told my friends that they are seeing the trouble brewing so they decided to let Obi have his way slightly while tapping Tinubu at the back and promising him to see what happens from other states but God will frustrate them.
Their plans will never work.
Josh | Transcriber @Fast_Scribe – “He’s right. Everything seems planned. APC sacrificed their own states and PUs and lost with a small margin, then won with a very wide margin in other states. That way, they can’t be accused of rigging.
Temitope @temmytokpe – “I been knew this for real. I told my friend yesterday.
Osime @Duchess_TG – “Exactly what I said when I heard LP won. They had to let go to get the whole plate. All strategy. Shame big shame.
Jide Samuel @itzjayadet – “I told people this, you think it’s normal…..they made you believe they lost Lagos, I’m seeing now they lost rivers after all the rigging shouting. many APC personnel’s lost their states and polling unit, but they’re leading on national level… It’s not child’s play.
JESSICA @JEXXIQAR – “They didn’t sacrifice anything, they just couldn’t rig anymore in that Lagos and that’s why they’re trying to win every other state.
Eecho Olumodeji [@Eecho_olumodeji] – “Correct. If u know tinubu team well… U will know instead of tinubu losing his state blood(s) will flow. But PO t team are too focused on lag as if it’s governorship election.”
Meanwhile, the Lagos State Command of the Nigeria Police Force has reacted to a viral video showing MC Oluomo threatening and restraining the Igbo people from voting at his Polling Unit in Lagos.
Raye24reporters understand that a netizen (@chude__) had shared the clip on Twitter, calling the force’s attention to the event at the polling unit in Fehintola Giwa Street, Aguda, Surulere, Lagos.
Chude further alleged that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) refused to redeploy its comprised REC, Agbaje, adding that “MC Oluomo made sure that materials didn’t get to their destinations.”
Reacting to the clip, which has received a barrage of reactions on the microblogging platform, the Police Public Relations Officer, Lagos State Command, Benjamin Hundeyin, assured that the video would be investigated.
Hundeyin described the event as criminal and violating the Electoral Act 2022.
“While the video will be investigated to know if it’s an old, recycled one or not, it should be noted that this is criminal and totally against the Electoral Act, 2022.
“Violators will be prosecuted,” Hundeyin said.
