Musiliu Akinsanya a.k.a. MC Oluomo said his warning to Igbos not supporting the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the Lagos election, was a joke.

Oluomo had told the people of Southeast supporting the opposition to stay indoors on election day.
The governorship and house of assembly poll will be conducted nationwide tomorrow.

“I was talking to my sister, Mama Chukwudi (with him in the video), at a meeting I attended yesterday.
