The Lagos Political space is now being shared by both the indigenes and the Igbo resident-settlers which means, Theoretically, the people of Lagos seem to have identified themselves with the progressive ideology but now, the intervention of the Igbo is likely to cause some disequilibrium in ideological denomination.
According to Pascal Nwankwo, A Festac based resident and candidate Amuwo Odofin LGA, He said, Lagos should serve as the micro space for the Igbo to start playing politics of integration and the right time is now. he insisted that Igbos should use their number to consolidate their political base.
Jamiu said the Igbos were part of the builders of Lagos and promised should be part of decision making even at local government level which would continue to provide the right atmosphere for their businesses to thrive. Labour Party pledges to address the issue of “discrimination against the Igbos on levies and taxes at the various markets” and can only perfect that by having Igbo brothers and sisters as part of the government at every level.
According to the party’s spokesman, We have to observe that Ndi Igbo are the great movers of the Lagos economy and as well developers who do not constitute any threat to Lagos security and peace. It is therefore wrong to after seeing the Igbo people great who are great funders of the Lagos budget and projects and as well great electorate and developers of Lagos; and still consider them not worthy to be elected.
