'In 2011, I helped Jonathan become President because he made us believe he was a breath of fresh air. I didn’t say because he was from Bayelsa that I would not help him. We voted for him because he promised to make our lives better. But now, he has failed us''. He also went ahead and urged the Igbos to support APC : ''Igbo have lived here for years, and nobody has discriminated against them. No one would fight them because they are based in their land. No one can determine the tribe or family where he is born; it is only God that can do that. Therefore, everyone must be treated with equality and respect. Today, Nigeria is no longer safe. But because election is now approaching, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has remembered you. Can they give Igbo shops in Lagos? Can they give their children scholarships? In Lagos, when we give you shops, we don’t ask you where you come from. We let you do your business. We don’t build roads and say Igbo people should not ply them. ''The PDP-led administration has ruined the economy and that is why many Igbo businessmen are suffering now. Because of the dollar exchange rate, the rate of imported goods has increased and has crippled many businesses.The country is no longer secure, but with Gen Muhammadu Buhari as president, he would flush out the Boko Haram sect just as he flushed out Maitasine when he was the Head of State. So, I urge every Igbo person living in Lagos to support APC just as the APC government has supported Igbo''.

They should leave ndi igbo alone, is only ndi igbo in Nigeria can leave their brother and vote for another tribe if the fine him more worthy. The problem with APC is that the produced a wrong candidate. Next time they should produce a more credible candidate.

Tinubu and fashola were the ones that deported Igbo people from Lagos, their father's land. So, you people have remembered the Igbos as the election is drawing closer? Please we are wise now!!

Tinubu you and Fashola and your APC are wicked people. When you were deporting Ibo to under the river Niger bridge Onitsha t did you remember the election.When you seized their okada without returning them back to their owners did you remember all these lies you are telling us now. Why do you think you can easily sell Ibos to Hausa in the name of APC. It is impossible It is not easy for a common Ibo man to rent shop in Lagos now because of greedy Yoruba Landlords and the area boys Tinubu introduced to Lagos roads and every Bus stop here and there. Jonathan is our candidate.The devil you know is better than the Angel you don't know.Buhari is the founder of Boko Haram which has wasted the lives of thousands of innocent Ibo people in the north.We are not fools. APC is Hausa party. We will not follow you people. APC made mistake to have allowed Buhari to be their flag bearer.

Hahahaha. ..abi emaa gboro rirun lenu Oponu ayirada yii. ...really, which of lagos monuments did your Father build to have claimed the title of "developer of Lagos" ? Is it the third mainland bridge, or the national theatre or the three lagos statute ? It is unbelievable how you people think you can just take hospitality for stupidity .. you can bloody hell vote for whichever party you choose to.. but to claim ownership of someone else's belonging just because they are nice to you is just plain stupid... If developing states is dat easy, why would you leave your own in the east and come to develop another person's in the West?

Tunubo. What your mouth. You said you need fresh air and Jonathan failed as you thought. Now is Gen Muhammadu Buhari who is your new fresh air that will also failed. Secondly you said you gave Igbo peoples shops in Lagos. Look at you. You gave us shops in high rates, we pay tax like people who are leaving is another mans land. You and your people took,Agreement fee, Damages,Agent Fee and the rent fee or years at the end a shop that is normally to be rented in less feea became high fee. That is wickedness in high rate. You said free education. Go to Imo State and other Igbo lands we have Free education in schools.
You also made mention of Nigeria economy sufferings. It because of you and Buhari and Boko haram who is causing damages to Nigeria economy and Government. Few months ago our economy and market standard was the fastest and growing in the world. Now because of election and your crisis the economy is bad. Think. I never say lair.
Let me inform you. If Jonathan failed to Win this Elect, Then Igbo's must Go and we will Declare and have Biafra. Watch and see.
