Regionalism: We Wont Be Part Of Western Region-lagos Indigenes by Ntigha(op): 2:23pm On Jun 02, 2024
Indigenes of Lagos State have vowed to reject a Bill seeking the return of Nigeria to regional government.
Speaking under the aegis of De Renaissance Patriots Foundation, the Lagos Indigenes, in a statement by its Media Office, revealed that a proposed Bill seeking approval of the National Assembly to return Nigeria to regional system is set to be considered but insisted that Lagos State people will not be part of the Western Region.

"The first most important is that vast consultations were not held on the matter to find out if being submerged into another subgroup is a thing we desire. It cannot be generally assumed.
"Generally and since Lagos and its environs became a colony, we have always maintained that we prefer a stand alone status and not be part of any Western Region or Province.

"In recent times, our various indigenous groups had always maintained that we as indigenes of Lagos
had always been having a raw deal from our neighbours in the South West, who see nothing good in us as they are only for project to marginalize us and see our state as 'spoils of war'.
"We recall that in our history of over 100 years, Lagos indigenes in their various forms, towns and villages have never made progress and
development as part of any region not to talk of the Western Region. The brief balkanization of our state to be part of the Western Region was an aberration.
"Nothing should be assumed especially from the contents of this proposed bill, especially if it has the inclusion of Lagos State as part of any region. We demand a referendum to actually reflect the wishes of the people.

"We, the indigenes of Lagos State, do not wish to be part of the regional state as being proposed in the Bill returning Nigeria to regional government.
Our leaders and traditional rulers opposed it in 1953 and we gained respite in 1967. We, offspring of our heroes' past, will not accept it.
"We enjoin our representatives in the National Assembly to consult with the elders statesmen and stakeholders before taking any action on the Bill.
This is beyond the ruling party and state government affairs. Lagos State cannot be brought into nothingness through the South West Region proposal by this Bill surreptitiously.

The true owners of Lagos are taking back their lands from "Attachee by force" people from Osun, Ogun and Oyo states coming to Lagos to do attachee.

Lagos belongs to only Lagos Indigines and not some .

By the way, who are the ?Renaissance patriots"? They can have their Lagos without the part carved out of western region. Simple.

Nigeria needs more than 6 regions for regionalism to actually work.
You can't subject states like Benue, Taraba, Plateau etc to the rulership that will be found in NC and NE.
More regions are needed especially in SS, NE and NC.
