Following the ill-treatment melted out on Igbo in Lagos and demolition of Alaba international Market which is mainly populated by Igbo traders,the Governor of Abia State,Dr Alex Otti on Wednesday visited the Governor of Lagos State,Sanwo-Olu to end the victimiszation of Igbo traders for allegedly voting for Peter Obi during the last presidential election.
At the time of filing this report,it was not clear if the Governor made any reassuring statement on protection of lives and properties of Ndigbo in Lagos.
It will be recalled that the level of bigotry and state-sponsored terrorism unleashed by the APC-led government in the wake of both the Presidential and Gubernatorial elections on supporters of other parties was unprecedented.
Igbo traders had their shops and markets razed down by arsonists and it did not stop there, people were warned not to come out and vote if they were not voting for APC. It was so bad that on election day, people were matcheted, shot at, and flogged by thugs alleged to be boys and supporters of the APC.
Popular motor park tout and a state sponsor of thuggery, Mc Oloumo, was caught on tape warning Igbos not to come out and vote, and the government did or said nothing.
Nigerians have witnessed the height of state-sponsored tribal bigotry and violence sponsored by the APC, and history will remember the role Governor Sanwo-Olu played.
