KINGSLEY EBERE

The traditional head and leader of Ndigbo in Ejigbo LCDA of Lagos State, Eze Dr Alex Sunday Nwoye, has urged the Igbo in the LCDA and State not to participate in the planned protest organized by some groups and called for peace and unity among the ethnic groups in the State.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that Eze Nwoye, who is the Babaselu of Ejigbo Kingdom, stated this on the heels of the agitation for protests against the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration over economic hardship in Nigeria.

The United Nations Ambassador for Peace and Life Saving,  Eze Nwoye, stated that the protest will not yield the desired result at this critical time President Tinubu is working tirelessly to revamp the economy.

He assured the LCDA, Lagos State Government and the Party leaders in the State that Ndigbo will not participate in the protest and will continue to cooperate with them to maintain peace in the State.

Eze Nwoye stated that despite the fact that protest is allowed in democracy, it will not make any sense at this period President Tinubu is looking for ways to revamp the economy for some faceless people to be busy mobilizing people to embark on protest to worsen the situation.

He declared that Ndigbo will not participate in such senseless protest in Ejigbo LCDA and indeed the State.
He noted that truly the people are suffering due to the economic problems facing the country, but embarking on protest will not achieve the desired result because hoodlums will use the opportunity to destroy lives and properties in the State.

He stated that he has been educating Ndigbo and other ethnic groups in Ejigbo on why they should not participate in the protest and assured security agencies, State Government, Party leaders and other critical stakeholders that Ndigbo will not participate in the protest in Lagos State.

Eze Nwoye also urged Nigerians to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and give him time to fix the economy and other challenges facing Nigeria and all should be patient with Mr. President and his team.

He also urged Ndigbo to continue to be law abiding, support Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s administration, the ruling party in the State and continue to maintain peace while going about their normal businesses across the State.

He also called for peace and unity among the ethnic groups and posited that when there is peace and unity, Nigeria will surmount all economic and security challenges facing it.

The position Babaselu of Ejigbo, Eze Nwoye, is in line with the position of other Igbo groups in the State including Ohanaeze and Igbo Speaking community including the critical stakeholders in Lagos State.
