Our conversation centered around the future of Lagos and building on the solid foundation already in place. I value his perspective as we all work together to ensure that Lagos remains on the path of growth and development.”
In a separate development, Sanwo-Olu condemned a post made by the account @Lagospedia on X (formerly Twitter), which called for the expulsion of the Igbo from Lagos and the southwest.
The controversial post, dated July 27, 2024, urged Lagosians to prepare for a massive #IgboMustGo protest from August 20 to 30, 2024, sparking significant backlash on social media.
Gboyega Akosile, the media aide to Governor Sanwo-Olu, issued a statement emphasizing that the governor and the Lagos State Government strongly distance themselves from the “reckless, divisive, and dangerous rhetoric.”
Akosile further stated that Lagos remains home to every Nigerian citizen, regardless of ethnic nationality, and that Sanwo-Olu views the post as a deliberate attempt to create discord between the Yoruba in the South-West and other ethnic groups, particularly those who have made Lagos their permanent home.
