Pat Utomi Says Oba Akiolu’s Threats Against Igbos Were Jokes

Renowned political economist and entrepreneur Pat Utomi says Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu‘s death threats against Igbo leaders were only jokes.

Utomi expressed this viewpoint via Twitter:

The arena of politics slippery slope. The remarks by the Oba of Lagos are inappropriate but all who know him know he talks so in jest.

Have known Oba Akiolu for 20yrs. He says worse to me every time we see but I have no doubt he is fond of me. How do you tell outsiders so

Typical of Oba as he sees me: Pat go return our land where you built that Lagos Business School. I respond; hold Asiwaju who signed C of O
