<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nNotwithstanding the loosers and the agrievrd in the just concluded February 25,2023 presidential election in which the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) announced Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) the winner, the Igbo in Lagos have been appealed to Lagosians (including the Igbo living in Lagos) give their support to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who is contesting for his second term in office as the Lagos State Governor come March 11,2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, Ndigbo in the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State has called on their brothers and sisters resident in Lagos to come out enmasss to vote for Governor Sanwo-Olu in the forthcoming governorship election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking on that, Mr. Joe Igbokwe, solicited for unalloyed support of Igbos in the state to vote enmass for Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and other APC candidates in the forthcoming governorship and House of Assembly elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Engr. Igbokwe disclosed this during a World Press Conference in Lagos, where he stated that the lgbos who are known to be committed to the growth and development of Lagos State has agreed to come out enmass to cast their votes for Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and other APC Candidates in the forthcoming governorship and House of Assembly elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Engr. Igbokwe, who is the Special Adviser to Lagos State Governor on Drainages, specifically appealed to his lgbos brothers and sisters resident in Lagos State not to allow tribalism and religion to rub them of some privileges they have been receiving as non-indigenes in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
lgbokwe who was accompanied by his deputy, Hon. Jude Chukwuemeka Idimogu reminded his people that the Igbo, that they needed to vote Governor Sanwo-Olu and his deputy Hamzat in the coming poll so as to give home-base supports for the president- elect, Asiwaju Tinubu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also appealed to the Igbos not to allow a repeat of the outcome of the Presidential and National Assembly elections held last Saturday where the APC lost in that election to the opposition Labour Party (LP), so that they would continue to have a say in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said, \u201cWe need to support the president- elect to make him have a political base in Lagos State, in March 11, you need to go out enmass to vote all APC candidates,so that the president elect can have strong home support base,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe fought for the rights of Igbo, we have to pay him back for the support he has given to us, life is give and take. Give him the home support. If you have invested in Lagos, it is too humongous to play with. Where you live is your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou need to start making friends and build bridges, we cannot make it alone,\u201d lgbokwe stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While congratulating Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu (the president-elect) for his victory last Saturday, Igbokwe, who called the Agbalanze Nnewi, warmly congratulated his boss, the president-elect for a resounding victory at the just concluded poll. He equally commended the courage and the bravity of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and Mr. Peter Obi for the peaceful conduct of the election, urging them to join hands together with the president elect so as to move the nation forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Engr. Igbokwe however, assured the Igbos that no threat against them would work as, according to him, the matter was being dealt with by Governor Sanwo-Olu, asking them to remain calm and go about their businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adding his voice, the Member, Lagos State House of Assembly representing Oshodi Isolo State Constituency 2 and also Deputy Apex leader, Hon Jude Chukwuemeka Omobowale Idimogu felicitated with the president-elect who he described as a trailblazer, a builder of lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To him, \u201cTinubu \u2018s victory will not only benefit our motherland Nigeria, but it will also at the same time be a morale boosters for Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTinubu\u2019s decade-long fight for the restoration of democracy in the country is well understood by Nigerians. Hence we see the wisdom in entrusting our future to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI want to appeal to my lgbo brothers and sisters to come out enmass as we have done today and in the last election to vote for continuity, let us not vote on sentiment as I am aware that the governorship candidates of other political parties, including the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party (LP) had been making overtures to them to secure their votes, and even trying to convince them that their parents were of Igbo extraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cl urge you to ignore their overtures and vote for continuity, vote for Babajide Sanwo-Olu, vote for more infrastructures as represented by the ruling APC\u201d he submitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The two term lawmaker, also called for calm and asked that Igbos ignore the fake news making the rounds that Igbos are being threatened and their properties destroyed, stressing that there is nothing of such as the peace loving governor has promised the non indigenes of their safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The State Woman leader of Ndigbo in APC Lagos State, Barrister Princess Obiageli urged all the women, youths and lovers of true democracy to come out enmass and cast their votes for all APC Candidates especially the Governor whose track record is unquantifiable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The legal luminary stated that Governor Sanwo-Olu has done tremendously well that requires him to be re-elected for second term in office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere is no doubt in it, Sanwo-Olu has done well both in infrastructures, health, education, welfare and otherwise, so electing him, would be a continuity of his remaining projects. This man is a saleable product, and for this reason, I want to tell you categorically clear that we the women have deemed it fit to canvas by going for door to door campaign in letting people to know what Governor Sanwo-Olu has done and what he will do if re elected.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She equally congratulated Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his victory last Saturday, reminding her audience that with his emergence, it is certain that the renewed hope will be actualized and Nigeria would move to its greater heights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another speaker at the event, a Federal Commissioner, Public Complaint Commission representing Anambra State, Lolo Emelda Nwajiofor Okoli, stressed the need of Igbos coming together and speaking with one voice not minding the distractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to her, Ndigbo in APC Lagos State are united and has come to tell the world and the party that they can never be distracted as they have vowed to come out enmass and vote for Babajide Sanwo-Olu and every other APC Candidates in Lagos State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Honourable Commissioner assures the full support of the men,women, youths of Ndigbo in APC in casting their votes and giving him 100% vote come March 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are not perturbed with the results of the last election in Lagos State as the people told us that they are going to vote for our brother in Labour Party for president but every other vote as far as March 11 is concerned it is for APC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNotwithstanding we are not going to relent, rather we will canvas, solicit for votes for Governor Sanwo-Olu because he has done well and deserve the second term. The lgbos have benefited a lot from his administration, now it is pay back time and we will do so with our votes by voting him massively.\u201d She submitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
