A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Joe Igbokwe, has lamented the continuous destruction of properties belonging to Ndigbo residing in Lagos State.
In a post on his official Facebook page, Igbokwe said he has
received numerous calls from fellow Igbo on how their houses are being
demolished by officials of the state government.
“Hundreds of Igbo in Lagos have called me hours on end to
complain of losing their houses. I am besieged everyday on this matter”,
Igbokwe said.
According to him, Igbos are a strong force in the growth of
Lagos, stating that “having been in Lagos for over 40 years, I know their
humongous investment of Igbo in Lagos”.
“I am besieged. I am tired. I am exhausted. I am choked up.
I am diminished. I am weak. I am under pressure every day. I want a solution to
this serious matter.
“I want bridges for understanding. I want bridges for mutual
relationships. I want peace in Lagos. I want a new deal with Igbo and
the Yorubas in Lagos”, he said.
The APC chieftain appealed to the state governor, Babjide
San-wolu to “look into the matter and find an amicable solution to the
problem”.
