Joe Igbokwe, a leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has bemoaned the ongoing devastation of Ndigbo mansions in Lagos State.
Igbokwe claimed in a post on his official Facebook page that he has gotten a lot of calls from other Igbo people complaining about state government personnel demolishing their homes.
“Hundreds of Igbo people in Lagos have called me for hours on end to lament the loss of their homes.” Igbokwe remarked, “I am under constant pressure on this issue.
He claims that “having been in Lagos for over 40 years, I know their humongous investment of Igbo in Lagos” and that Igbo people play a significant role in the city’s development.
“I am under attack. I’m exhausted. I’m very tired. I can’t breathe. It diminishes me. I’m weak. Every day, there is pressure on me. I want this important issue resolved.
“I want to build bridges for comprehension.” I aim to build bridges for relationships. I desire tranquility in Lagos. “I want to make a new agreement with the Igbo and Yorubas in Lagos,” he declared.
Babjide San-wolu, the governor of the state, was urged by the APC head to “look into the matter and find an amicable solution to the problem.”
