Lagos State  Indigene Political  Emancipation Forum, an umbrella body for  indigenes of  Lagos, has called on the  Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) to correct what it termed as the political intimidation, oppression and suppression of Lagos indigenes.

Mr Nawairudeen Idowu, the Forum’s spokesman, who addressed newsmen, said: “A situation whereby all the local government chairmen are non-indigenes, most of the councilors  are non-indigenes is untenable”.  He attributed the situation to the act of selection instead of allowing the people to decide who should represent them, “All the local government chairmen are tactically selected by instituting kangaroo primary elections”, he said.

“Five Local Council Development Areas (LCDA) were created out of Alimosho Local Government and only Egbe Idimu has a semblance of an indigene running it.

“The same problem is facing Lagos State House of Assembly and the House of Representatives while in Alimosho House of Reps, the position has been rotating between two non-indigenes since 1999”.

This should not be accepted at all,lagosians cannot do same in other land within Nigeria

But, didn't they sell their lands to outsiders for money, just like the mirror and whiskey story?

FYI: Aworis are Yorubas

The Awori are a tribe of the Yoruba people speaking a distinct dialect of the Yoruba language.
Traditionally, Awori are found in Ogun State and Lagos State, Nigeria. The Awori people migrated from Ile Ife and occupy present day Lagos state, with a comsiderable section of the Awori clan occupying areas within Ogun State as a direct fall out of the creation of Ogun State in 1976. Towns including Ota, Igbesa, Ilobi, Tigbo are all Awori settlements within today's Ogun State in Nigeria. The settlement of the Awori clan preceded the establishment of Abeokuta as an Egba kingdom in 1832, as Ota, the foremost Awori town within present day Ogun State was settled in the 15th century. The Awori are direct descendants of Olofin, one of the sons of Oduduwa - the father of the yoruba nation. As such, in accordance with Yoruba custom, they brought their crown along with them from Ile Ife. Osolo, one of the sons of Prince Olofin, settled at the Osi quarters as his father and his brother journeyed further south from the place where the plate sank at Idumota. The first crowned Oba at Ota was Oba Akinsewa Ogbolu in 1621, he was the son of Osolo.[1]
