The Umuigbo Youth Progressive Association has urged Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and traditional institutions to do more to secure the lives and property of Igbos and non-Igbos residents of Lagos State.
The association made the plea in a statement jointly signed by its National Chairman, National Secretary and National Patron, Rev. Gabriel Emmanuel, Ms Gladys Ogoke, and Chief Mbazuruike Amaechi respectively on Friday in Lagos.
In the statement entitled: “Threats and Attacks on Igbos and Non- Igbos Resident in Lagos State”, the group described as totally unacceptable the alleged attacks in the state.
“The Umuigbo Youth Progressive Association believe in One Nigeria and also believes that every Nigerian citizen is free to live, work and do his or her legitimate business in any part of the country without being terrorised or subjected to threats of any kind.
“To this effect, we hereby call on the Governor of Lagos State and traditional rulers to publicly condemn these attacks and put a stop to it,” it stated.
According to the statement, the attacks are deliberately promoted for political gains without thinking of the long-term consequences on the peaceful co-existence of residents and the people of the state.
“We are waiting for a response from Lagos State Government guaranteeing the security of the lives and properties of everyone resident in Lagos State irrespective of their tribes or religion,” it stated.
The statement urged the state government to continue to protect residents of the state regardless of tongues and ethnic background.

Well, your submissions here doesn't reflect on the age that you claim to be. You tilt more towards being a toddler than an adult. All you need is just to travel a lil bit more and see more of your country Nigeria. see the East first hand before jumping on the ''Build your place'' Bandwagon lol

We shall always endeavor to live in Peace and Unity despite the provocations brought about from time to time arising out of our inabilities to let our sense of reasoning supersede our tribal leanings.

You can help your life by going back to School. Your reasoning is not yet sound enough for you to come online for an argument. If you are a Yoruba man as you claim, then you are an embarrassment to the tribe that claims to be educated. But, I think that you are are most likely from Zamfara.
