The governorship candidate said this at a reception where he was honoured by his Igbo friends with the title: “Ugochinyere Eze Ndigbo” at the National Stadium in Lagos. Sanwo-Olu said that Lagos would remain home to Igbo people because they had contributed to its economic growth through their various businesses in the state, pointing that Lagos would welcome anyone who appreciated peace and believed in unity. He noted that Igbo people had not been found wanting in that area. “One day, your son will stand here as the governor of this state, a senator in Lagos or any other top political office. No Lagosian will fight an Igbo man because he is part of us. Lagos will be land of milk and honey to you. We know that you are very relevant in this state considering your activities in the area of commerce,” he said. The APC governorship candidate, who had expressed joy with the honour, noted that he would always remember the day. He pointed out that the peaceful co-existence between Igbo and Yoruba people would be worthy of emulation and that the cosmopolitan nature of the state and the cultural diversity had actually been a blessing and something he would like to continue. Solomon Ogbonna, President of Ohaneze Ndigbo, Lagos, said that he appreciated the hand of friendship extended to Ndigbo by Lagos State, promising that they would join hands to work for a greater Lagos. Ogbonna noted that Ndigbo would work with any party that would be ready to protect the interest of Igbo people resident in Lagos. He said that the Igbo people had been adding economic value to Lagos but that did not mean that they were the owners of the state, pointing out that they were law abiding people ready to operate by the dictates of the law at all times. Adding, “Our association is not partisan, we don’t mind if it is People’s Democratic Party (PDP), APC or any other party. All we want is the party that will recognize us and give us our due,” Ogbonna said. Corroborating Ogbonna, Vitus Uzoh, vice president of the group said it was a socio-cultural organization and not a political group, even though they were keen observers of the happenings in the political arena.]]>
