extraction by Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State
still fresh in their minds, over #1 Million igbo traders
resident in the state have vowed to vote-out, All
Progressives Congress (APC) in the March 28 and April 11
presidential and gubernatorial elections, reports
Thecitizen.
Fashola, on July 24, 2013, had bundled over 70 Igbo
people, put them in a truck at night and dropped them at
the Onitsha end of the Niger Bridge in the dead of the
night in what he claimed was part of the efforts of the state
government to rid the state of destitution.
Speaking on the issue, leaders at the Ladipo-Spare parts
market and Alaba international market in Lagos vowed
that their over #1 Million traders and artisans are
overwhelmingly disposed to voting for Goodluck Jonathan
and Jimi Agbaje, presidential and governorship candidates
of the PDP respectively in the coming elections because of
a history of hate against the Igbos by Fashola and the APC.
Charles Obumneke, leader of the AlabaMarket electronics
said, Igbos are the biggest movers of business in Lagos. We
pay the most taxes, yet the APC government here treats us
badly.
We do not want this their APC. We want a government that
will accept us and treat us like citizens, and that is why the
traders in Lagos have decided to vote for the PDP in the
elections.
Research shows, non-indegenes makeup 70% of Lagos
state... APC is finished.
