Nigerian actor and comedian, AY Makun has weighed in on the tribalism situation during the just concluded Lagos Governorship election.
The election process in many local government in Lagos State met with series of reactions, as it was said to be plagued with tribal discrimination and bigotry.
Many street thugs made sure that those who would not vote for the ruling party, APC, especially the Igbos were not allowed to cast their vote at all.
Besides that, there was also tribal war between some Yoruba and Igbo folks on social media following the gubernatorial election on Saturday, March 18.
In response to the tribal conflict, the comedian, AY took to Twitter and inquired what people in inter-tribal marriages, specifically Yoruba men married to Igbo women, should do about their marriage and family.
AY is married to a Delta-born woman Mabel. AY also threw a subtle jab at Nigerian politician, Femi Fani-Kayode, who has been a vocal supporter of the tribal war.
He tweeted,
“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.
