Dayo Israel, the national youth leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has told all political office holders appointed by the Lagos State Government not to bother coming to the government house if they fail to “deliver” their wards during the next gubernatorial election in the state.

This subtle threat is coming from the party youth leader on the heels of the presidential election, which saw Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), coast home to victory against Bola Tinubu of APC.

Israel tweeted this via his verified Twitter handle on Monday. In what could be termed the fear of losing the March 11 governorship contest, he mandated government appointees to stop the planned one-million man march in the state.

He said, “Nobody should do ‘One million Man March’ Oribu kan mo. Focus on door to door. Party excos, youth leaders, councillors, leaders, we have 10days to #SanwoAgain, go and engage your neighbours. #deliveryourstreet, be humble, get off your high horse. Ise wa o.”

“Any appointee in Lagos who doesn’t deliver his ward on the 11th March should not bother coming to Alausa on the 13th. Everyone should drop their tinted car and start walking the street. Knock on your neighbour’s door, beg those you need to beg, make peace. Deliver for #Sanwoolu.”

The tweets have garnered different reactions from tweeps, many saying his tweets can instigate violence.

Commenting, @EtunMount, a tweep, said, “Power belongs to the people.”

@mark_onyegbu said, “You have expanded your threats from the masses to public servants and appointees?? If this is not a sign that you’ve all been rejected, I wonder what is. Voting is by persuasion and conviction and not by threats. When you begin to threaten, there is something fundamentally wrong.”

On the ballot for the March 11 governorship election in Lagos State is Babajide Sanwo-Olu of APC, who is also the incumbent governor of the state, and other candidates.

At press time, over a million Twitter users had seen the tweets.
