The Special Adviser to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State on Drainage, Joe Igbokwe, has spoken on the on going Governorship election in Anambra state accusing the Igbo of playing “ethnic politics”.
In a post via his Facebook page on Sunday, Igbokwe lamented the poor performance of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Anambra governorship election.
The APC chieftain added that the people of the South-East “will continue to be onlookers” in the country by playing ethnic politics and not connecting to the centre.
Igbokwe pointed out that the failure of the Igbo people to vote APC will have a negative impact on the region, adding the Ndigbo can’t continue to play politics of Isolation.
He wrote:
“I had thought that Igbo will move beyond ethnic politics and work to connect to the center to meet other Nigerian, but ife ji Ndigbo jisi ha ike. We will continue to be onlookers.”
In another post, Igbokwe added: “Politics is a game of numbers. Igbo cannot continue to play politics of isolation in the 21st century and expect that a miracle will happen. It is time to build bridges and not burn bridges.”
