Sanwo-Olu Is The Biggest Supporter Of Ndigbo In Lagos – Ohaneze

The Ohanaeze Ndigbo in Lagos has declared Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu as the biggest supporter of Igbos in the state.

The declaration was made on Thursday in Ikeja, during a joint media briefing where the association declared total support for the incumbent governor of Lagos State.

According to the president of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Lagos chapter, Sunday Ossai, Sanwo-Olu has fulfilled all the promises he made to its members during his first election as Lagos governor, and that has given birth to the strong support he enjoys from members of the association.

Ossai, added that the news making round that Ohaneze Ndigbo called for the governor’s resignation is untrue.

He said, “As president of Ohanaeze Ndigbo in Lagos, I am a representative of Ndigbo in the state and as their mouthpiece, I hereby debunk the so-called statement that the Igbo body asked Sanwo-Olu to resign.

“If Ndigbo is asking for anybody to become governor of the state, it is Sanwo-Olu, because of the cordial relationship that we enjoy together.

“He represents everything that Ndigbo needs to exist in Lagos. He has been very kind to us. He has implemented friendly policies that enable us to execute our businesses and our professional calling without fear or favour.

“Why should we tell him to resign? He should not resign. If the constitution permits a third tenure, Ndigbo will strongly support Sanwo-Olu.

“With Ndigbo, Sanwo-Olu should go and sleep with his two eyes closed as they will vote for him.

Also speaking, the woman leader of the group, Jane Okoro, assured the governor that the entire women structure in the 57 LGAs and local council development areas (LCDAs) of the state will be mobilised to support his re-election.

Okoro appealed to women not to allow their children to be used as political thugs in the forthcoming elections.
