2019: Senator Seeks Igbo Support For Lagos APC by Nobody: 7:16am On Jul 06, 2018
The Senator representing Lagos West, Solomon Adeola, on Thursday urged all Igbo resident in Lagos to vote for the ruling All Progressives Congress ( APC) during the 2019 election.
Adeola said that voting for APC was the only way to show appreciation for the good work of the party in the state.


A statement by the media adviser to Adeola, Kayode Odunaro said that the lawmaker made the call when a delegation of Alaba International Market Council of Elders (AIMCE) paid him a courtesy call in Abuja to present an award for good representation to him.
It said that Senator Adeola who is chairman, Senate Committee on Local Content told the delegation led by Eze John-Greg Ezebuadi, the chairman of AIMCE) and Eze Ndi Igbo of Iba, Ojo LGA that the last election showed that Igbo in Lagos heeded calls of external influence that had no interest in their welfare in the state.
He said, “I am of the view that you should see the Yoruba that you lived with for years as your brothers more than your tribes people that you see only once or so in a year or not at all for decades. The interest of the APC government led by Governor Akinwunmi Ambode and our leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to continue to develop all part of Lagos state is the best interest of all of Lagosians including the Igbo.

“In spite of negative electoral result from some areas against APC, the government has not discriminated against any section in bettering the welfare of all Lagosian.”

Senator Adeola said 2019 election is a good time for Igbo to open a new chapter in their relation with the ruling party APC.
He added that their support and vote for APC in the state will show they appreciate the progressive and welfarist government of Governor Ambode in the last three years without discrimination.
“I can say and I am aware that Governor Ambode has not discriminated against any group in delivery of dividends of democracy. He has not abandoned areas that did not vote for him and his party in 2015. The coming 2019 election is time to show appreciation and encouragement for the APC in Lagos State.”.
It said that Eze Ezebuadi noted that they decided to come to Abuja to present the award to him for his effective representation of Lagos West Senatorial District at the Senate.
It said that that Ezebuadi added that the voting pattern of the last election was the result of non recognition of relevant and progressive Igbo with long history of working with the progressives of Lagos State.
It said that the leader of the delegation noted that with the performance of the Ambode administration work is ongoing to enlighten all Igbo on the need to bring to truism the Igbo adage “Ebe madu bi Ka ona owachi” (meaning where you live is where you call your home.

Igbos don't reason like this simply because their sense of reasoning is low and also that feeling of inferiority to the yoruba's has beclouded their thoughts, when they sleep what they dream about is yoruba, when they talk its yoruba, when they cry its yourba, when they agitate its yoruba, even common headache na yoruba.

Mr u very funny oooo....

So igbos should leavee their own kit and kin....just to love yorubas..coz they are living in ur land...and I ask are we not paying for every single services rendered to us....from house rent to buying of tooth pick.....

The Igbos came from somewhere and as such their family comes first both in decision down east before any other person.......

Any decision taken in east binds on them in lagos before any other thing...This is a pure fact.

Moreover is yorubas that feel inferior in always complaining that igbos doesn't engage them in business and partnership which is a pure lie.

Ambode has tried and still going at it.. he does not need to campaign vigorously for re-election, although some people are of the opinion you cant rule lagos and your works would not be visible with the amount of inflow, but the only problem with lagos is transparency.

Lagos is the power house of the west as onitsha is to the east and rivers to the south south, likewise kano to the North. It may only be seriously contested on a 55:45 ratio but extremely difficult to win.

Moreover i dont think opposers would be as united against lagos as it was in 2015 with oba rilwan's comment and a credible contestant as Jimi Agbaje.
