•Governor urges unity, political stability in Lagos
The Ndigbo in Lagos have declared support for the re-election of the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, saying their decision was predicated on the fact that the governor has fulfilled all his campaign promises to them.
The Ndigbo, who commended efforts of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, said they had continued to convince their people that anything outside of the APC would amount to a waste of vote.
This is as Sanwo-Olu, has urged residents of the state to continuously ensure that Lagos remained politically stable for continuous peace, which the state currently enjoys as the most peaceful state in Nigeria.
Leaders of Igbo in the state made the pledge when they had a press conference in Lagos today, alongside some Yoruba leaders of thought.
President of OHANEZE in Lagos State, Chief Sunday Ossai, commended Sanwo-Olu for his support for the Ndigbo in Lagos State and assured the governor that Igbo would support his second term because he has fulfilled all the campaign promises he made in 2019 to the Igbo in Lagos State.
He said: “I want to commend Governor Sanwo-Olu for his support for Igbo people in Lagos State. He has fulfilled all the campaign promises he made in 2019 to Igbo in Lagos. So, we must support him and APC. If we have a governor of APC in Lagos and the same party at the federal level, it will be in the interest of the Igbo people.
Other members of OHANEZE NDIGBO at the press conference who described Sanwo-Olu as the ‘best among equals’ said Igbo people would work for the victory of Sanwo-Olu on the 11th of March, 2023, noting that anything outside APC is wasted votes.
