A former military governor of Niger and Lagos states, Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe (rtd), has enjoined Igbo living in Lagos to live in unity.

Speaking when he visited the ultra modern Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State chapter secretariat in Surulere Area of Lagos, he said without unity, Igbo cannot achieve much.

He said God has given Igbo in Lagos a visionary  leader in the person of Chief Solomon Ogbonna, adding that if they rally around him, he has the capacity to take them to the next level.

He commended Ogbonna-led Ohanaeze Ndigbo for providing an address for the Igbo living in Lagos.

He said with the secretariat, nobody can again say he does not know where to see Igbo in Lagos.
