CYRIACUS IZUEKWE

The chances of the amiable President of Ohanaeze Lagos State, Chief Solomon Ogbonna Aguene, for a second tenure as President has become brighter following the endorsement of the Igbo traditional rulers in Alimosho Local Government area of Lagos.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the endorsement was declared by the Chairman of Council of Igbo traditional rulers, Alimosho, Eze Lawrence Eze, in his palace in Ikotun area of Lagos.

Eze Lawrence stated that Chief Solomon Aguene is God sent and the Igbo in Alimosho have no choice than to support him to continue his good works in Lagos State.

Eze Lawrence, who also holds the title of Agunabo in Awka, Anambra State, stated that Aguene has performed creditably well and there is need for continuity for the interest of the Igbo in Lagos State.

“We support him and we will continue to support because he has done well for the Igbo in Lagos State” Eze Lawrence said. 

He explained that Chief Aguene has done so well since he assumed office and has taken Ohanaeze Ndigbo to the next level to the delights of the Igbo people and he is well accepted by majority of Igbo people in Lagos State and he should continue because a winning team should not be changed.
With the endorsement, the coast is now very clear for the Igbo leader, Chief Aguene, for a second tenure as the Igbo people in Lagos seem to have realised his leadership potentials and now want him to continue. 

It is not Alimosho Local Government stakeholders alone that have endorsed Chief Aguene, other Local Government areas have equally done so including Badagry and Ikorodu.

The sterling performance of Aguene may have secured him the second tenure bid for President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Lagos State.

He received a big boost as a result of the endorsement by the chairman, Igbo Council of traditional rulers a.k.a Ezendigbo in Lagos, Eze Chris Offia.

Eze Offia stated that Chief Aguene has performed, united the Igbo and has become a rally point for the Igbo because he is accepted by every Igbo person in Lagos State.

Igbo King makers, Lagos State, led by  Prince Chukwuemeka Onuoha, declared their support for Aguene as well as the Igbo traditional Prime Minister (Onowu) of Ifako Ijayi, Chief Bright Ikechukwu Nwancho, described Chief Aguene as the man, who gave Igbo direction in Lagos State and endorsed him to continue to lead the Igbo in the State.

The former President of Igbo Speaking Community, Chief Chris Ekwilo, may have captured the feelings of majority of Ndigbo in Lagos State when he declared publicly at different fora that Chief Aguene was a prayer answered by God to the Igbo in Lagos.

Chief Ekwilo explained that Chief Aguene has not only united the Igbo in Lagos State from Wards, Local Governments Areas and State with his leadership quality but has connected Ndigbo to the critical Igbo stakeholders, other ethnic groups and the Lagos State.

Chief Aguene’s administration came with a human face, truth and transparency, which a typical Igbo person wants in leadership. He has brought Ohanaeze to the limelight, connecting it to people that matters in the society and the host community with the likes of the Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Grand Patron of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos, Ifeanyi Chukwuma Odii, Eze Uche Dimgba, Chief Oliver Akubueze, Council of traditional rulers led by Eze Chris Offia, women’s wing and many other respected Igbo leaders.

Today, Ohanaeze Lagos State has a new face via Chief Solomon Ogbonna Aguene, who they so much trusted; no wonder the endorsements continue to increase every day as the Ohanaeze election approaches.
