The stakeholders forum in Lagos State led by Prince Nixon Okwara had made their intentions known through a press briefing on their choice of LG chairmanship in the oncoming LG primary election slated for May 29, 2021.


The communique which was signed by Prince Nixon Okwara and Mr Daniel Ezeanochie, chairman and secretary of the Igbo stakeholders, Lagos State stated that following:

"After much deliberation with Amuwo-Odofin chapter and Ndigbo in APC in Amuwo Odofin, the Igbo Stakeholders United Forum, Lagos hereby resolving as follows:

That we have adopted the endorsed candidate of Amuwo-Odofin chapter in the person of Hon.Dipo Olorunrinu as the sole chairmanship candidate of Igbo in Amuwo-Odofin. 

That the endorsement is in consonant with the state executive of Ndigbo in APC led by the Apex leader, Chief Joe Igbokwe.

That the Igbo stakeholders endorsement of Hon. Olorunrinu as chairman of Amuwo-Odofin is for the obvious reason, that he will carry Ndigbo along in his administration.

It was unanimously agreed that the present administration in Amuwo-Odofin led by Hon Valentine Buraimoh maligned Ndigbo in particular and generality of Amuwo-Odofin residents.

That from records available for consideration, we agreed that Hon Olorunrinu as one time Lagos State Assembly member, performed well and never discriminated against other ethnic nationalities in Amuwo-Odofin.

That the election of Hon.Olorunrinu as next chairman LGA, will in no little measure, facilitate the development of the entire area and integrate other ethnic nationalities in APC thereby, positioning the party for the best and successful outing in 2023.

For this reason, we appeal that all Igbo residents in Amuwo-Odofin to mobilize and support Hon. Dipo Olorunrinu in the forth  coming primary and local government election.


The stakeholders significantly noted that, Amuwo-Odofin is Eminently dominated by the Igbos who have concluded to support Oloruniru because he will carry the Igbos along as a non tribalistic ruler unlike Braimoh who made it clear that he will not accommodate the Igbos in Amuwo-Odofin.

In Unison they all said that the Igbo will give Hon. Olorunrinu every support to ensure he emerges as the Chairman during the Party primaries and election proper.
