Abia State State Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, has said criminals who carried out the last month coordinated attacks on public assets and private businesses in Lagos State orchestrated the violence to hurt the whole country.

The Governor condemned the arson, stressing that Lagos remains a home for all Nigerians irrespective of tribe, language or religion.

Ikpeazu spoke on Wednesday during his visit to Lagos to commiserate with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu over the attacks.

The Abia Governor particularly thanked his Lagos State counterpart for protecting the businesses and properties owned by Igbo during the violence.

Ikpeazu said: “I am here to commiserate and show my concern to my brother, Governor of Lagos, over the event that happened some two weeks ago. I’m particularly touched by the level of destruction, which will hurt all Nigerians living in Lagos. This is because Lagos is home to all; as commercial city, it is a place where everyone speaks the same language.

“I want to particularly thank Gov. Sanwo-Olu for giving protection to our brothers from the Southeast during the crisis. This is an indication that our people and their businesses are safe in Lagos. We will continue to live as a united country".With all of us working together, we can keep flourishing.”

Gov. Ikeazu urged Igbo living in Lagos to continue to abide by the laws of the State and eschew actions that may cause mistrust between them and members of their host communities.

He said the political leaders had drawn a number of lessons from the recent youth protests against police brutality, saying Governors were now inclined to drive up inclusion in their policies and programmes.

Sanwo-Olu thanked the Abia Governor for taking the pain to travel down to Lagos from the Southeast to identify with the residents over the violence. He promised that Lagos State Government would continue to support business aspirations of the Igbo and protect their rights to live in Lagos.

Also, indigenes of Southeast and South-south living in Lagos paid solidarity visit to Gov. Sanwo-Olu at the Lagos House, Alausa.The Igbo leaders, who were led by the Governor’s Special Adviser on Drainage and Water Resources, Mr. Joe Igbokwe, restated their commitment to the growth of Lagos, while aligning with the move to rebuild the destroyed assets.

Igbokwe said a true Igbo son could not have been part of the those who set fire on the public assets, stressing that Igbo people are known as builders.

He said: “The attacks are unimaginable in terms of cost and worth. There is nothing that can make a true son of Igbo to participate in destruction of the land where our businesses have been most successful.

“There is an adage that says you cannot go and pass faeces where they put your food. We pledge our loyalty and stand by the Government and the people of Lagos.

”Leader of the South-south indigenes in Lagos, Otunba Isaac Emiyade, said he had lived in the State since 1977 and had never witnessed public protests in which public assets were destroyed at such level.

Emiyade praised Sanwo-Olu for promoting cohesion among all ethnic nationalities cohabiting in Lagos, pledging that people of South-south residing in the State would continue to support move to strengthen peace and progress of Lagos.

Responding, Sanwo-Olu said diversity remained the State’s strongest point, pointing out that the spirit of Lagos to host visitors and be a melting pot for all ethnic group had not been dampened, despite violence visited on the State.

“One of our strongest point is our diversity. We must not allow what happened to demoralise our spirit to undertake the responsibilities which the State has taken up. Lagos will continue to give everybody living here equal opportunity,” Sanwo-Olu said.

This man can never recover his misplaced priorities. Never

if I were to be Sanwo olu I'd reject him stepping foot at the state boarders let alone coming close to the state house lest I forget every state development plans/ ideas I have

Incompetence in Abia, an injury to all too.

Let me just keep quiet

Let me say this again

If you partook in the looting and destruction of private properties/businesses. May your life never end well. All that you laboured for in your morning and afternoon will go up in flames when it's time for you to enjoy the night.

AMEN!!!

Gov Ikpeazu, explain your analysis

Yes but I did mine without the cctv footage and with the ongoing panel, I can say that my analysis was accurate

Destruction of properties is a no, no.

No. We Yurubas don't accept this comment. Attack in Logos is not an injury to all but to the Yurubas, as Lagos is not a No Man's Land

This people are always thinking about them selves.

Encouragement is necessary for the Lagos state government.
It took a heavy hit in the #endsars protest that went south.
But creating the impression that a certain group was targeted is myopic.

Abians may God help you people survive till 2023. What a slap on ndi Abia.

lol

It's like this one's mouth is just doing him anyhow to talk.....

And the incompetent/heart wretching level of governance in ABA is what sir?

Heal and stop hating

Mr. Governor your state is decaying and you're talking about another state far west.

Attacks in Lagos is an injury to all, kolo master.

Tell them Mr kerosene

Imagine an idiot when writing his name he will put PhD, very local man, maybe because he's a PhD holder we won't hear word again. Imagine; Dr Okezie Ikpeazu Phd. Very stupid man.

This dude is the most under performing south eastern governor currently... Has zero awareness with the poor facilities and zero care for the people.

Why don't he stop using the state fund to service his ever growing stomach and pay the state civil servants.

What a useless bunch of ungrateful people Nigerian's have as leaders.

Let me correct you sir attack on peaceful protesters is an injury to all Nigerians

Well done my governor. You are trying your best to fix Abia state though people will not notice it because of deplorable state you met it, assuming your predecessors warming benches in the senate tried a bit of what you have done atleast, people would have appreciated your work. It will never be well with the 2 Orjis.

tell dem iPOB yweets

The arsonists are already CURSED

Well said
