The Lagos State branch of Ohanaeze Ndigbo has warned that the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Hon. Mudashiru Obasa,’s proposed new property and company ownership legislation could destabilize Nigeria.
According to news reports, Obasa said during his inaugural speech at the 10th Lagos Assembly that specific laws pertaining to economy, commerce, property, and titles will be put in place to defend the interests of Lagos indigenes.
He said: “There would be laws and resolutions in the areas of economy and commerce, property and titles, and we will reverse all that is reversible to protect the interest of the indigenes.”
In response to Obasa’s statement on Monday, the state’s President of Ohanaeze, Chief Ogbonna Aguene, told The Whistler that such legislation can bring problems for both the country and the government.
Further, the Ohaneze president stated that the organisation has no objections to any laws proposed by the state House of Assembly as long as they do not affect only Igbos.
He urged Ndigbo residents in the state not to be concerned, stating, “Ndigbo should have nothing to worry about.”
