He expressed worry about what he called as senseless and unpatriotic impeachment move against Gov. Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti, by out-going APC legislators in the state and the alleged death threats on non-indigenes of Lagos State by a prominent Oba.
The death threat on Sunday by Oba Akiolu on non-indigenes, especially Ndigbo in Lagos if they voted for the PDP candidate, Mr. Jimi Agbaje come April 11dominated discourse across the nation on Monday.
Metuh maintained that it was most unfortunate that a royal father should attempt to drag the revered traditional institution into partisan politics, adding that this should not be accommodated.
“Our response to the Oba is that he cannot play God and can never be God.
“God owns the universe and every part of it and can never share His glory with any human no matter how highly placed,” Metuh said.
He, therefore, called on non-indigenes in Lagos State irrespective of religion to turn against this unpatriotic stance, by coming out en masse to vote for PDP candidates on April 11.
He said the PDP totally reject the flimsy and unsubstantiated allegations concocted by the APC legislators against Fayose.
“We state in very clear terms that we will stand with him and bear our full weight in defense of the mandate freely given to him by the people of Ekiti State.” he said.
Metuh called on all democrats and the international community to take note of the current happenings in the country.
