The Igbo made significant investments in Lagos State, according to Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, President-General of the Igbo socio-cultural organization Ohanaeze Continue Reading.
According to Iwuanyanwu, groups like the Igbo and the Northerners invested in Lagos to make it what it is today.
As a result, the Igbo accused the state government of having a grudge because of how the presidential election turned out.
Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu met with Hope Uzodinma, the governor of Imo State, and some Igbo elders.
Iwuanyanwu, however, asserted that Igbos had a positive economic impact on Lagos State.
Iwuanyanwu remarked in a press conference to journalists in Lagos, "We have not come to deliver a sermon that God gave us the land in Lagos. We bought it. Igboland residents have built homes in addition to developing land.
"These things were made by people if you go to Lekki, Victoria Island, Lekki, or somewhere else. Lagos exists today as a result of investments made by individuals like the Igbo. They include people from different tribes as well as the north.
"Igbo visited, made investments, and improved the area without disregarding their status as guests. Every Igbo man is instructed at home to uphold the local law, and they have done so throughout history.
