The Ohanaeze Ndigbo socio-cultural organization has urged President Bola Tinubu to wade into the demolition of the Alaba International Market in Lagos
Ohanaeze urged Tinubu to prevail on Governor Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State to temper justice with mercy on Igbos in the state.
The team, which went round to re-seal several buildings that had been marked with previous multiple quit seal notices by LASBCA, said the measure was to prevent disaster. “We want to beg Mr President to call Sanwo-Olu that the best thing to do at this point is to temper justice with mercy. We would not accept that this is a political witch-hunt or issue threats on the crisis that has befallen Igbos in Lagos.
“Our Republicanism should end in the Southeast; they should not take it to Lagos. Some people threatened Igbos to leave Lagos, but we won’t leave any part of Nigeria for anybody because we have contributed to the development and building of economies with every state and local governments in Nigeria.
