Igbos Demand for the Slot of Lagos State Deputy Governor Come 2015 Elections...
A group of Igbo community in the Federal Capital Territory
(FCT), Abuja under the aegis of Goodluck Gaa N’iru
(Goodluck move forward) has demanded for the Lagos State
deputy governor’s slot in the 2015 elections in the state.
The demand was contained in a communique issued at the maiden
National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the group held yesterday
in Abuja at their national office.
It was jointly signed by Kenneth Ibe-Kalu Onyeisi Gburugburu,
Chief Boniface Orji, Rev Chukwuemeka Ezenagu, Owelle Isaac Oduma,
Barr Chima Duru, Joseph Ebinim, Rev Dr Andrew Ubah,
Chief Ofoegbu Nwachukwu, Arch Bishop R. B. C. Nwankwo,
Chief Anayo Arinze and Prof. Matthias Egwuka who are the
geo-political zones and principal officers of the group.
“In view of the overwhelming population of Igbo in Lagos,
estimated at over 45 percent of the state population figures,
the unsurpassed positive contributions to the economic and general
development of Lagos State, we demand the position of Deputy Governor
come 2015 elections in Lagos State and advise the PDP leadership to
get a reputable Igbo son or daughter for the position of Deputy Governor.
We believe this would be the winning strategy in the next gubernatorial
elections,” the communique said.
They also commended President Goodluck Jonathan for maintaining
the unity of Nigeria despite increasing challenges, distractions and
mischief against his transformation agenda.
While commending the Federal Government for the completion of
Onitsha Sea Port, the group asked for its speedy concession, to enhance
its quick full operation.
They also urged the federal government to evolve new policy measures
targeted at promoting local industries and discouraging importation of
certain categories of foreign products.
