Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) yesterday tendered an apology to Igbos in the state over an inflammatory statement by the Oba of Lagos HRM Rilwan Akiolu who threatened that Igbos who vote against his candidate in the April 11 governorship election will die in the lagoon.
The state APC Publicity Secretary, Joe Igbokwe, in a statement expressed the party’s sincere apology to Ndigbo and pleaded with them to bury the hatchet in the interest of peace and harmony.
“No human being is above mistakes. People can make mistakes and correct it thereafter. The Oba of Lagos can make a mistake and we believe that the statement credited to him was a mistake. If to err is human, we plead with Ndigbo to let the sleeping dog lie.
