Igbo people living in Lagos, under the aegis of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, have promised to give the All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship candidate, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, over two million votes in the coming election.

They announced the decision on Sunday in Lagos during their town hall meeting.

The decision was announced by the leader of Ohanaeze Ndigbo in Lagos, Mr. Solomon Ogbonna.

He however said the decision was based on the promise that six of their members would be appointed commissioners in the state.

“We are endorsing him because this is the man that will give us what we have been craving for in Lagos.

“This is the best that can happen to the Ndigbos in Lagos, so come out and vote for him. Hold me responsible for this because I know him and I have seen what he can do,” said the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos.

He said Sanwo-Olu showed concern over the attack on its members during the last election and deserved to be supported.

Speaking at the occasion too, a prominent member of the group, Oliver Akabueze, explained that Igbo people in Lagos voted against APC candidate during the presidential election because they were not pleased with the choice of Buhari.

His words:  “What played out during last election will not happen next Saturday because we love Sanwo-Olu. But during last election, the choice of the party did not meet our expectations and that is why we did that.”
