I’m Tired, Exhausted – Joe Igbokwe Laments Continuous Demolition Of Igbo Properties In Lagos

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Joe Igbokwe, has expressed concern over the ongoing destruction of properties owned by Ndigbo living in Lagos State.

In a post on his official Facebook page, Igbokwe said he has received numerous calls from fellow Igbo on how their houses are being demolished by officials of the state government.

“Hundreds of Igbo in Lagos have called me hours on end to complain of losing their houses. I am besieged everyday on this matter”, Igbokwe said.

According to him, Igbos are a strong force in the growth of Lagos, stating that “having been in Lagos for over 40 years, I know their humongous investment of Igbo in Lagos”.

“I am besieged. I am tired. I am exhausted. I am choked up. I am diminished. I am weak. I am under pressure everyday. I want a solution to this serious matter.

“I want bridges for understanding. I want bridges for mutual relationships. I want peaceful peace in Lagos. I want a new deal with Igbo and the Yorubas in Lagos”, he said.

The APC chieftain appealed to the state governor Babjide San-wolu to “look into the matter and find an amicable solution to the problem”.
