During the occasion, Chief Ekwerekwu popularly called Obosi spoke of the need for Igbo in the area to take the election serious by given their votes for the ruling APC in the state stating that the importance of their investments in the area cannot be over emphasised.

He emphasised the need to identify with the party reminding them that where your treasure is remains where your mind should be.

In his speech, Chairman of Igbo Coalition in APC, Chief Chris Ekwilo, appreciated the leader of the party in the area for carrying Igbos along by given them the coveted post of Vice chairman of the council in the person of Mrs. Edna Uche Ubosi and enjoined them to reciprocate the noble gesture by the Yorubas by giving their block votes to the party.


In his speech the President of Alaba Amalgamated Union, Chief Felix Nwagu, thanked the leader of the team, Chief Ekwerekwu and leaders of Igbo Coalition for gracing the occasion assuring that Igbos will reciprocate the gesture of the Yorubas in the area.

In the same vein, Chairman of the election committee, Uchenna Nnadozie also enjoined everyone to leave no stone unturned in ensuring that the party emerged the winner.

I was at the Festac/Amuwo odofin/Ago Palace way axis yesterday and i was surprised at the number of Igbos people vieing for elective positions at the local government level.

serverconnect:
Igbo's always dominating Amuwo Odofin and other towns since ages in terms of politics in Lagos.

Marotzke:
is it necessary that you say this?
Do you really need the bile and antagonism that comes with your assertion?
Igbos have billions if not trillions of naira worth of investment in these areas.
Being part of the local politics is very necessary to protect these investments.
Is it really necessary to use the word "Dominate"?
Must you look for trouble where none exist?

Sall:
This is what we have been talking about. You can not eat your cake and have. The more the Igbo keep fighting for Biafra, the more you people will continue to encountered more problems from your host community's over and over again.
