An Igbo Man Was The Governor Of Lagos State In 1977 by NaijaRoyalty(op): 4:09pm On Jan 13, 2021
Rear Admiral (retired) Ndubuisi Godwin Kanu has died from COVID-19 complications at 78, Igbere TV can confirm.

Speaking to this newspaper's correspondent under the condition of anonymity on Wednesday, a source close to the family of the deceased confirmed that he died in the early hours of Wednesday.

Ndubuisi Kanu was appointed military governor of Imo State, Nigeria in March 1976 during the military regime of General Olusegun Obasanjo.

He was the first governor after the decree that established the state from part of the old East Central State. He was transferred to become governor of Lagos State in 1977, leaving office in July 1978.

It is now safe to say that Lagos indeed is a no Man's land.

Do you know how many Yoruba military administrators have managed Eastern states or how many Fulani military administrators have managed Eastern states?

Why does a typical reality of our military past that has occurred with just about every tribe, seem like an ethnic achievement to you?

It is good to know that an Igbo man ruled Lagos before Tinubu even dreamt of becoming Lagos governor

It feels good to know that an Igbo man governed Lagos long before Tinubu, originally from Osun state , dreamt of becoming Lagos governor .

Congratulations on Ibos achievement.. It a worthless achievement that Adewunmi Agbaje handed over to Chimaroke Nnamani here in Nigeria

Yoruba Celebrate having President like Obasanjo, Vice President like Osinbajo, Senate President like Bukola Saraki, Speaker of house like Eteh, Bankole, Gbajabiamila

Bank of Africa President Adesina, Forbes dollars Billionaires like Alakija, Adenuga

He wasn't elected by the people of Lagos, he was appointed by the Millitary head of state then

Most millitary leaders of Nigeria from Murtala onwards appointed governors over states who did not come from the affected state.

Gowon and Ironsi appointed indigenes of states/regions only

When Lagos srate was given the chance to vote for a governor in 1979, it was for an indigene they voted for. All the parties in Lagos fielded indigenes
