Chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and member, Federal Housing Authority, Chief Modestus Umenzekwe (Onwa Achina) has appealed to Ndigbo in Lagos State to vote for Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for the second term.

Umenzekwe who made the call in his office while speaking to journalists maintained that the workaholic governor has performed excellently well in his first tenure and should be supported once again.

He said “I am appealing to my people, Ndigbo in Lagos State to make sure they come out en mass on Saturday, March 11, 2023, to vote for His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Lagos State, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, for the second term.

“The governor has shown capacity, his government has strengthened the cordial relationship existing between the Igbos and the Yorubas in Lagos State, since the inception of his administration, one now sleeps with two eyes closed, I am talking about security, he has ensured security of lives and property, and he has done a lot in infrastructural development, he really deserves another term,” Umenzekwe stated.

While answering questions about those who felt hurt by the administration, Umenzekwe advised “Governance is not as easy as many thinks, the APC Government in Lagos State understands the need of every segment of the society and is taking steps to address them, those who did not get deserved attention in the first term will definitely be attended to in the second term in line with the resources available to the state, it is also a matter of one step at a time, so nobody should feel left out.”

He also advised his people on the need to support the government where they reside and do business. “I am calling on my brothers and sisters in Lagos to realize the importance of supporting the government in power in Lagos State, it would further cement the cordial relationship between the government and the people, especially on the ease of doing business in the state,” Umezekwe said.

Umenzekwe also appealed to Ndigbo in Lagos State to disregard any threat by those fanning the embers of disunity, saying that such threat did not emanate from the government of Lagos State and that the Igbos should come out in their numbers to cast their votes.
