Popular actor, Okey Onyebule, a.k.a Okey Bakassi, has replied the chairman of Lagos State Parks Management Committee, MC Oluomo, after he accused Igbo’s of trying to spoil the campaign and name of the APC presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Recently, a resident on Ikorodu, Halimat Rufai, shared a video showing some touts forcing tricycle operators to purchase Tinubu’s campaign stickers for N500.

She explained that the tricycle operators were usually forced to pay for the stickers, a development that is currently generating some confirmation on social media.
But reacting to the video, (MC Olumo) said it was either the Igbo or the PDP who were responsible for the ticket sales to discredit Tinubu, presidential candidate of the APC.
He urged his supporters to hand over violators to the police after beating them.
“Whether it is you, the Igbos who are devising these means or opposition PDP, don’t give us bad names,” he said in Yoruba Language in the video shared by Punch.
“Anywhere you see something like that, beat them and take (them) to (the police) station.
“Anyone you see selling such stickers in the name of park and garages, arrest them and call my number.”
He added:
“By the grace of God, Tinubu owns the presidency, and there is nothing enemies can do.”
Reacting to this, Okey Bakassi wondered why MC Oluomo would drag Igbos into the drama.
Commenting on an Instagram blog post, the father of three wrote:
“Why drag Igbos into every problems in Nigeria?
The hate is unnecessary and it’s becoming boring.”
Okey Bakassi believes vehemently that Igbos should be given a chance to produce the Nigerian president as he believes the marginalisation they suffer is enough.
