The Special Adviser on Drainage and Water Resources to the Lagos State government, Joe Igbokwe said he would rather remain a slave to Yoruba and Bola Tinubu than please some naive Igbo bunch.
He made this known during an interview on Lagos FM Radio.
Recall that on Tuesday, 20 August, Mr Joe Igbokwe, was among Special Advisers (and the commissioners) sworn in by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State. He is Special Adviser on Drainage and Water Resources.
Igbokwe has been a butt of verbal missiles from many critics, especially from his kinsmen East of the Niger for his political inclination which they see as too pro-Lagos or South West or All Progressives Congress (APC).
While there are people who like to pour obscenities on him, calling him adjectives ranging from “selfish”, “dumb” to “stupid.” There are people who are ready to swear by their grand fathers’ coffins that Igbokwe’s love for the Yoruba and Lagos did not come out of a vacuum
Speaking with Lagos Radio FM, he said: What Has Ndigbo Done For Me? When I Say I’m Not Igbo They Come And Attack Me, As If I Care.
“Tinubu made me what I am today and I will forever remain greatful to him, to Lagos State and the West.”
