Published

on

Obafemi Hamzat, the Deputy Governor of Lagos State, has recently spoken out about Musiliu Akinsanya, also known as MC Oluomo, a strong supporter of the All Progressives Congress and Bola Tinubu, the President-elect.

Hamzat has emphasized that MC Oluomo should be held accountable and face the necessary consequences if he is found guilty of violating any laws during the recently concluded state elections.

Hamzat made this known In a live appearance on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme on Tuesday morning, while addressing questions regarding violence and allegations of rigging during the recent governorship and state House of Assembly elections.

He clarified that he is not advocating for the arrest of anyone. However, he believes that it is important to thoroughly investigate the facts surrounding MC Oluomo “if in truth he (MC Oluomo) has broken the law, he must pay for it.”

The video which circulated on social media during the governorship elections in Lagos State prompted the Deputy Governor, Obafemi Hamzat, response.

In the video, MC Oluomo, who serves as both the Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers for Lagos State Council was seen allegedly issuing threats to individuals of Igbo descent residing in the state.

Hamzat said, “Well, I am not calling for the arrest of anybody, I am not a police officer, I am not a prosecutor, but people will look at the evidence.

“And in the case of MC Oluomo he has actually come out to say that he was referring to a woman, who also come out to say that she has known MC Oluomo for years and that he was referring to her, so I don’t know the facts. But people should examine the facts and if in truth he has broken the law, he must pay for it.

“But my point which I want to make is that we all diminish this country when we actually exaggerate what happens. We have an election where you have this number of polling units and you have less than 1 per cent that have a problem and we now make it look like that 1 per cent is more important than the 99 per cent.

“I think that it is just outrageous and we should not diminish our country by saying the election is bad. No, this was a great election. Atrocities were committed an people should pay for that.”

Hamzat said the state government has been accommodating of all tribes and religions in the state, adding that Lagos is the only state that has other tribes in its State Assembly.

Hamzat, however, added, “There will be people that will always try to break the rules and we must punish them. When you punish them they serve as deterrent to others so they know that is not the way to go.” he added.
