Jim Iyke aims a dig at Oba of Lagos over his pre-election remark to Rhodes-Vivour during visit

Nollywood Actor, Jim Iyke, has reacted to the remark attributed to the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, about Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, Labour Party (LP) governorship candidate in the state.

Rilwan Akiolu had declared his support for Babajide Sanwo-Olu during the Saturday’s governorship election.

The Oba also urged Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour not to relent if he loses the governorship election.

“For Gbadebo, the future is open to you. God will not kill you, there is nothing wrong in you contesting. Don’t relent after this contest but I am fully behind Sanwo-Olu,” Akiolu had said when the LP candidate visited his palace.

Registering his reservation with respect to Oba’s remark, Iyke asked his followers what “democracy” means — in what appeared to be a thinly-veiled dig at the traditional ruler.

The actor also disclosed that a wise man made him take the choice of dual citizenship seriously, adding that he is glad he listened.

“Somebody please remind me again what democracy means, Google has failed me,” he wrote.

“A wise man made me take the choice of dual, even multiple citizenship seriously years ago. I listened.

“I’m here for some logical insights, no man is an island. Not here for dimwits insults, please take note. God bless Nigeria, SMH.”
