Then he stirred up an ethnic issue where he took a swipe at the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akinolu, making reference to the 2015 statement where he said, "Jimi is my blood relation, and I told him he can never be Governor in Lagos now and if you [the crowd] do what I want then Lagos will continue to be prosperous for you, if you go against this you will be banished to the water! Finished!"
Jimi Agbaje in his tweet this morning, said, "on Lagos and the Igbos: the narrative that Lagos dislikes the Igbos is extremely false. Oh yes, Lagos does not dislike the Igbos, your political establishment does. The royal utterance of 2015 is still fresh on the mind of the entire electorate".
Nigerians on social media reacted, saying Agbaje's ploy of dividing Lagosians won't work.
