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.

Isaac Fayose Criticizes Government Over Taxation and Insecurity
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose has spoken about what he considers one of the country’s biggest problems, stating that many Nigerians are worried about government taxation, insecurity, and the increasing rate of kidnappings for ransom.
He lamented the situation and criticized the government, arguing that these issues have become deeply rooted and that there appears to be no lasting solution in sight.
According to him “In Nigeria we have two governments. One is collecting tax, the other one is collecting ransom. Both of them have one thing in common which is to make life difficult for their people.
The one that is collecting tax without doing anything will come and share you rice and semolina. The one that is collecting ransom is doing giveaway on social media.”
