Following the victory of the Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, in Lagos State, the Igbo socio-political organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has vowed to hold the Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, responsible for the attacks on Igbo in the state.
Ohanaeze said the attack in Lagos State was an attempt to pitch the Igbo against the Yoruba.
The Secretary-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, also warned that the body would hold the Oba of Lagos and MC Oluomo responsible for the attacks on the Igbo community in the state.
According to Isiguzoro: “We have observed the calculated attempt to pitch the Yorubas against the Igbos with the ethnic colouration that both tribes are fighting because Labour Party won Lagos State.
“We want to make it categorically clear that we have Yorubas who are supporting Obi like Obasanjo and Ayo Adebanjo.
“We are holding the Governor of Lagos State responsible for any calculated attack against innocent Igbo traders, we are holding MC Oloumo and the Oba of Lagos if anything happens to traders and the community in Lagos State.
“The Governor of Lagos State has failed in his duties to protect the lives and properties of the people of the state, and we hereby, call him to resign honourably for failing to perform his duties.
