The actor further addressed the trending discussion about the real owners of Lagos as he stressed that the state is a Yoruba state and not a no man's land.

An extract from his statement read:

"And this talk that flying around that Lagos is a no man's land is wrong. Lagos is a Yoruba state in Yoruba land. Imagine someone saying that Anambra is a no man's land. That is cra. Anambra is an Igbo land. You can't come into someone's land and tell the person it's now a no man's land. Na you dey find trouble."

He, however, acknowledged that every tribe has been instrumental to Lagos's growth.
