- Insists Hatred For Igbos Alarming
The Labour Party of Nigeria (LPN) has issued a warning to the Iyaloja-General of Nigeria, Chief (Mrs) Folashade Tinubu-Ojo and the Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, over an alleged attempt to frustrate residents of the State from voting candidates of their choice as the Nation approaches the next general elections.
Of worthy of note, according to the party, is the attempt to forcefully force the people to accept its candidate.
The party in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Arabambi Oluwafemi Abayomi, insisted that traders of Igbo extraction are now living in fear, as there seems to be a mandate from the highest quarter to ensure that they either accept All Progressives Congress (APC) or face the dire consequences of death.
Abayomi argued that the party has evidence of cohesion by the market leaders under the watch of Mrs Folashade Tinubu-OJO where traders are forced to surrender their PVCs or have their shops locked and their goods looted.
This, Abayomi hinted, to have started “when market women were forced to stage a phantom one million match in support of their candidate and those who failed to do this were forced to part with a whooping N5,000 or have their shops locked.
“A case in point is the closing down of Alaba Market heavily populated by the Igbos when evidence abounds that the foot-soldiers of their candidate, the Transport Workers Union Members and the Park Management Committee are the ones who stirred the honest nest by embarking on extortion of buyers and traders under this economic hardship imposed on Nigerians by the outgoing President.”
The party’s scribe argued that “Under their watch, Legitimate businessmen are choked with various policies coupled with lack of electricity and basic infrastructure to make ease of doing business.”
He condemned the “ease of doing business of this administration, laced with unhealthy action of the leaders in this government and their agents.”
Abayomi particularly faulted Governor Sanwo-Olu “for losing his voice when and where it matters, but was quick to unleash his lapdogs and other security agents on hapless citizens, especially the lads that were peacefully commemorating the second anniversary of EndSars Protest at toll-gate where innocent youths were murdered by security agents on the orders of Sanwo-Olu.
He expressed the wonder as to “why Sanwo-Olu cannot use the same method to protect Igbos and those who do not believe in the policies of their murderous party and are ready to give them the red card at the poll.
“This amounted to a drowning man seeking ways to survive the tide of the waves, but this time he said the tide is too strong for them and is ready to sweep them away at the poll in 2023.”
Abayomi however warned the Iyaloja-General and Sanwo-Olu to have a rethink and never again throw the State into another season of darkness by promoting ethnicity.
He added, “Nigeria is an indivisible entity, and we have agreed to work together, no matter where we found ourselves politically and geographically.”
The Party equally called on the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) “to as a matter of urgency call the Lagos State Police Commissioner to order, as this will be the last time such criminal and infraction will be tolerated by our party.
