The Chairman, Council of Elders, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, has condemned individuals described as political rascals for the ethnically charged rhetoric against the Igbo in Lagos State.
In the midst of the elections, particularly last Saturday’s governorship election, incendiary dialogue led to targeted attacks on voters of southeastern extraction.
The Igbo elder stated that he convened a meeting of the Ohanaeze Council of Elders worldwide, who X-rayed the events in Lagos during the meeting held on Wednesday.
The Ohanaeze leader asserted that southeastern natives were fellow Nigerians who had “so much” investments in the country.
Reacting to the rhetoric ordering Igbo sojourners to leave other regions, he said, “We are not going anywhere.”
