The Imo state Governor, Rochas Okorocha has thrown his full weight behind the Oba of Lagos on the alleged threat on the lives of Ndigbo living in Lagos state. Addressing his supporters yesterday during the visit of President-elect Muhammadu Buhari, Gov. Okorocha Berated Ndigbo, saying that APC is the party that has protected Igbo people's lives and properties over these years. Continuing Gov. Okorocha said Lagos APC government has the power and right to make life unbearable for all Igbo traders and resident in Lagos if they so wish.
Gov.Okorocha speaking to the press in Imo state capital, Owerri, after Buhari's visit defended the Oba of Lagos and pointed out that the Oba of Lagos was not totally wrong in insisting that Igbos must vote Ambode. This was after APC's national leadership has come out to disown the Oba's statement, saying that the Oba does not speak for APC.
He went further to echo that "Igbos should not portray themselves as ungrateful people, the only way they can show appreciation is by massively voting for APC the party that has protected their lives and properties over these years.
"The Lagos state government led by APC has the capacity to make life unbearable for all Igbo traders and resident in Lagos if they so wish. So you see, the Oba was figurative in his speech not necessarily that Igbos will be drowned in Lagoons" the governor added.
