Igbo traditional rulers in Lagos, under the aegis of Eze Ndigbo in Lagos, have endorsed the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari.
At a briefing in Lagos yesterday, Eze Uchechukwu Nwachukwu said Ndigbo in Lagos will vote for Buhari and the Lagos State APC governorship candidate, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, on March 28 and April 11.
Nwachukwu said Ndigbo has enjoyed robust and cordial relationship with the APC administration since 1999.
“After a strategic meeting of Ndigbo in Lagos, we have resolved to vote for the APC. Our interest in the state has been protected and we equally want to show appreciation by voting for the APC candidates.
“I call on all our brothers and sisters to use their vote wisely, by this pronouncement we have endorsed General Muhammadu Buhari and Akinwunmi Ambode.
“I equally urge Igbo to go about the business without fomenting trouble. Our new task is to look forward to the new dates given by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and participate.”
