APC Chieftain Joe Igbokwe Warns Igbos in Lagos to Avoid Protests, Citing 2020 #EndSARS Unrest
Joe Igbokwe, a prominent member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has advised Igbos living in Lagos not to participate in any protests. He shared this warning on Facebook under the title “AN HONEST ADVICE FOR IGBO ACROSS NIGERIA ESPECIALLY IN LAGOS.”
Igbokwe, who has lived in Lagos for over 40 years, cautioned against joining protests, citing the damaging effects of the #EndSARS protests in 2020, which strained the relationship between the Igbo community and Lagos residents.
He expressed concern that recent protest movements, influenced by Labour Party supporters, could lead to similar unrest.
He stressed that Lagos leaders are determined not to let a repeat of the 2020 events happen. “2020 is not 2024. I will not speak further.
Read my lips,” he wrote, urging Igbos to take precautionary measures and avoid engaging in activities that could provoke conflict.
