The
Lagos State Government have asked Igbo Traders at the popular Ladipo Auto Spare
Parts market in Lagos to either accept a self imposed Yoruba Leader or leave Lagos state.
This
is due to the rejection of Alhaji Oladotun Abibu Oki as the new Babaloja of
Ladipo Auto Spare Parts market.
Chief
Nwosu who is a Royal father of the market revealed that “99 percent of
marketers in Ladipo are Igbo.
To
be fair to all, he should come and contest if elected he will be accepted he
stated.
“We
appeal to the South East governors, Igbo leaders across the globe to come to
our aid. They asked us to go back to our villages, if we are not ready to
accept the leadership of Alhaji Oki. We pay our taxes in Lagos and have every
right as Nigerians to buy and sell anywhere in the state.”
Meanwhile Igbo traders have refused to recognize the imposed sectional
market leader (Baba Oloja) asking him to come and contest for the leadership of
the market.
In the meantime, the Lagos Government has drafted a combined force of armed soldiers and mobile policemen to Ladipo Market, Mushin Lagos, to enforce the new imposed Baba Oloja for the market on Igbo traders.
The Igbo traders traders claimed they are not aware of the reason the troop have been drafted to their Market, other than Lagos state government intimidation and bullying them to accept a man that cannot win even one percent if a leadership election is conducted today.
Mr. Ikechukwu Animalu, the President-General of Ladipo Auto Central Executive Committee, said that the men were brought to the market through government backed Alhaji Oki (govt Baba Oloja) to take control of the market.
Mr. Animalu said that they were reliably informed that the soldiers, policemen and members of OPC will take over the market.
“We will not recognize him. If he wants to lead the market, he should wait for my tenure to expire and then contest for the leadership of the market,” he stated.
Operatives of OP-MESA were seen in their vehicle with registration number DD 47 KTU positioned in front of the Warehouse A. 15 pickup vans with armed mobile policemen. Operatives of SARS were also seen at the market.

ReplyDeleteNhm, IGBO, the hand of the Lord is on the wall for you. This is a prophesy.
ReplyDeleteGo home
ReplyDeleteI think people should stop playing "IGBO" card each time something didn't suit you. I'm sure there are other Nigerians in that market than Ibo. It is possible not to like a particular person as a leader should have nothing to do with ethnic background
ReplyDeleteThank u all for supporting yoruba, we are pure sons and daugthers of the soil. But really let's reason this out,can a yoruba man rule the igbo peopele in there states? If not why are u so bitter about it and y are u so unrealistic. No offence given.
ReplyDeleteWhy is he afraid to contest election
ReplyDeleteI wonder oh!
Deletewho be dat yoruba man wen dey talk nonsense? is Nija not for everyone? abi them no dey pay for their shops? rubbish!! if chairman re chosen by election, then let it be so. nija is for all irrespective of tribes...after all everyone dey pay their dues, Eko oni baje
ReplyDeleteStop quarelling oh,traders can always sort things out 4 themselves ok!
ReplyDeleteWhat Fashola is doing I believe his is ill advised. Presidency are seeing and hearing this yet no intervention. Other states are watching. The begining of. Another crises looming...
