“Today, God has given me power to liberate Ndigbo in Ikeja. In no distance time, I shall install an Eze that will be taking care of Ndigbo in Ikeja and not the one that will be collecting food from them or using them for photographs and video coverage in order to collect money from the Lagos State Government and individuals” he said.
Chief Aguene explained that the era of intimidation and oppression of Ndigbo by the disgruntled elements within the Igbo circle has passed, stressing that Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State is fully focused on the welfare of Ndigbo especially the less privileged among them.
He explained that the welfare of Ndigbo is his top priority and he has agreed with his Executives to effect the project by touching the lives of Igbo people in the State.
He further assured that the Welfare Committee has been tasked to move across the Local Government areas to get the details of the widows, jobless, the sick and those who really need assistance and his administration will work towards assisting such people by using available contacts from wealthy individuals and Lagos State Government to do so.
