The Special Adviser to Lagos State governor on Drainage and Water Resources, Joe Igbokwe,who is the apex leader of Igbos in APC and his deputy, Jude Idumogu, a representative of Oshodi Isolo in the Lagos state House of Assembly, led others prominent Igbo community leaders in the state to pledge their support for Tinubu and Sanwo-Olu at a special event held at the secretariat of the party’s Independent Campaign Group (ICG).

At the event, many of the Igbo leaders who spoke, told the party to ignored the rumour going round that Igbo in the state will not vote for Tinubu.

They said , they are not just going to vote for Tinubu who they described as detribalised Nigerian but they are going to vote massively for APC and all its candidates at the forthcoming polls.

Speaking on behalf of the Igbo in state, Igbokwe said APC is their party and their loyalty and commitment are to the party.

He said the forthcoming poll is a pay back time for Tinubu by the Igbo in the state because the former Lagos State governor laid the foundation for Igbo to thrive political and economically in the state.

Igbokwe boasted that no other candidates in the forthcoming presidential race have the scorecard of Tinubu in terms of political structures, contribution to national development and political sagacity.

He urged different Igbo communities in the state to reciprocate Tinubu’s kind gesture to them with massive vote.

“Lagos has been good to people of other extractions including the Igbo. We have Igbo, Hausa in the state cabinet. Therefore, a vote for APC is a vote for development of all,” he said.

The deputy apex political leader of Igbo in the state, Idumogu said that Tinubu remained the most experienced of all the presidential candidates.

He said that Igbos in Lagos state remained part of the party in leadership because they earned their living in the state and as such, must protect it.

Idumogu charged his tribesmen to shock the party with their massive vote for Tinubu, Sanwo-Olu and other party’s candidates at the forthcoming polls .

The Igbos in the APC said that they were supporting Tinubu’s presidential ambition because they had the assurance that he would not disappoint the nation’s electorate.

In his response, the Chief of Staff to the Governor, Mr. Tayo Ayinde, is the Director General of the ICG, thanked both the Igbo community and political leaders for declaring their support for the party and all its candidates.

He charged them to work hard for the party in order to ensure it victory, promising that their hard work would be rewarded handsomely.
