The hope of Ndigbo in Lagos was rekindled on recently as business leaders of South-East extraction reiterated their choice of Seyi Tinubu as the next governor of Lagos State.
“The 2027 governorship election lies in the hands of the electorate. They have the ultimate say in election matters.”
The South-East body also advised the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, detractors and willful critics to steer clear of Lagos politics.
“Certainly by 2027, Primate Ayodele and others like him will acknowledge the people’s verdict and the present position of Igbo Entrepreneurs within and outside the shores of Nigeria.”
A statement in Lagos by the President of the Ndigbo Entrepreneurs in Nigeria and Abroad, Chief Hon. Linus Obi described the comments of Primate Ayodele as diversionary, misleading and part of a larger plot to market his candidate.
“It is very clear from his misguided statements that Primate Ayodele has suddenly forgotten his past failed prophecies on football in Europe and politics in Nigeria. Perhaps, Primate Ayodele has been out of touch with political realities which may explain why he seems not to have noticed the current direction of Lagos politics and development.”
The Igbo businessmen and women applauded the good people of Lagos for refusing to be hoodwinked by the tissues of lies, propaganda and fake prophecies manufactured and disseminated by people seeking attention and recognition in the country.
“We wish to reiterate that Seyi Tinubu is the choice of the stakeholders in Lagos State.”
The Igbo entrepreneurs praised Seyi Tinubu for his humility, diligence and respect for constituted authority.
“The governorship role requires a successful entrepreneur with wisdom, honesty, empathy, courage, restraint, humility and discipline. Seyi Tinubu is decent, kind-hearted, approachable, generous and very bright.”
The pan-Igbo group is out to vigorously champion the cause of Igbo businessmen and women in a manner that is just, fair and constitutional.
