“What Do You Want Yoruba Men to Do With Their Igbo Wives and Kids?” AY Makun Queries Electoral Bigots in Lagos

• Comedian AY Makun reacted to the ethnic system and prejudice used by the APC during the Lagos gubernatorial elections
• He took to his Twitter handle to vent about the mistreatment the Igbo people received all because they gave their support to Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour
• The humour merchant directed his speech to Femi Fani-Kayode, who happened to have led the opposing train on social media

Comedian AY Makun has fired at a member of the All Progressives Congress presidential campaign committee, Femi Fani-Kayode, for promoting bitterness towards Igbo residents of Lagos.

The comedian’s anger was borne out of the Lagos gubernatorial elections that took place on March 18.

Recall that Ndi Igbos were assaulted and barred from voting in most Lagos neighbourhoods because they backed the Labour Party's Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour.

Political thugs were seen at several locations advising Igbos not to cast ballots. As a result, many supporters of the Labour Party were disenfranchised.

On social media, people like Femi Fani-Kayode promoted ethnic prejudice and incitement against Igbos.

AY composed a lengthy tweet specifically in reaction to the discrimination witnessed during the elections. He said:

"Now that d elections are officially ‘over’ in Lagos State, I am sure all these talks about BIGOTS & MAGGOTS will end on d lips of some coconut heads like d FOOLISH FEDERAL KOLA-NUT (FFK) seekers, Una, for tell us wetin una want we Yoruba boys to do with our Igbo wives & children."
