Two Igbo Men Have Ruled Lagos And Nothing Bad Happened, Why The Lies On Igbos? by Brendaniel: 8:50pm On Mar 07, 2023
Commodore Ndubuisi Kanu Governor 1977 - July 1978 - Military

Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe Governor July 1978 - October 1979 - Military

If these 2 Igbo men ruled Lagos and they didn't do all what some people are claiming Igbos will do if one of their son who is actually Yoruba but supported by Igbos and Yorubas becomes governor, then why are some people peddling lies against him?

Just to remind everyone reading that the 2 Igbo men who ruled Lagos were far more powerful than Sanwo Olu or any civilian governor because they had no state house of assembly to checkmate them, they were not elected by the people so the people had no power to remove them, they could not be removed by any court, they were only answerable to the head of state.

This gave them almost unlimited power to do and undo in Lagos state, but here we are today, there was no record of these men challenging the Yoruba's or any record of the subjugation of Yorubas during their time.

And yet some people have the effontery to lie against the Igbos just because of politics, causing tribal hatred and tribal division and creating ethnic tension where there is none.

Please let's be guided, we can play politics without staining ourselves, we don't need to play dirty politics because we want to win at all cost.

You might win the seat but lose your identity and trust by other tribes...

Even during the dark days of the Babangida and Abacha military regimes, it was brave Igbo men in the likes of the late R.Adr Ndubuisi Kanu, Commodore Ebutu Ukiwe among others Christ Anyawu, AVM Dan-Suleman, Prof Beko Ransom-Kuti etc that spear-headed the NADECO fight when Tinubu, Dele Momodu, David Mark etc all fled abroad

Not true that they were more powerful. Governors are more powerful these days days especially over money
They were appointed by Obasanjo. The same Obasanjo that Tinubu defied
They did not have the kind of money that is in Lagos state today
The Federal government as in Lagos and they were under much scrutiny

The same politicians telling you GRV can't be Governor because his mum is from the South East.. they have wife's from the South East and are currently dating South East babes.

If its the turn of their children the narrative will change.

Wise up and vote for GRV for Governor.

Why vote for GRV

What are his achievements? What was he doing before?

We know y u guys are pushing for an inexperienced person . It’s Obi win that gingering u ppl

Last election he was campaigning for senator ship he lost that and now jump to governorship without any tangible quality.

Listen to yourself, I tell you Tinubu supporters, you people don't pay attention to details, power is different from money, I said powerful and I explained further but as usual, you guys don't pay attention to details, it is like trying to compare the power OBJ had as head of state and as a Civilian president.

The military leaders made laws without a legislative arm which means their office was a combination of the 2 arms of government headed by just one person, the civilian leaders work with the laws made by the legislative arm, who then is more powerful?

Stop re writing history
The only Ibos we remember when June 12 comes to mind are people like Chukwumerije , Daniel Kanu and Nzeribe.
We also remember how your people ran from Lagos in 94 because of the treachery of their people and they thought Yorubas would come for them

How am I a Tinubu supporter?what evidence do you have for that?
Can you see that you are a zombie?
What law did Ndubuisi Kanu make in Lagos?
Governors did not make laws alone They governed with a State Executive Council
Children like you make assumptions abot what you did not witness
State Executive councils had commissioners of police and the Brigade commanders of the state and other people appointed by the Federal government
E.g when Zamani Lekwot was governor in Rivers State Abacha was garrison commander at Bori Camp
Stop talking about things you don't understand
It was a MILITARY government

You want s to believe a Military governors just made laws alone?
How many laws did they even make?They hardly made any
It was a unitary system
