*Dear @jidesanwoolu*

*I am moved by my spirit to address you this day.*

*Sir... stop setting up the igbos for reprisal attacks. I will make the following points for posterity sake.*

*Lagos is a cosmopolitan city, its root runs for 100s of years and most families are generations old. Therefore no one ethnic group albeit the "minority" ethnic group; igbos can lay claim to Lagos state.*

*2. In this election, you have largely been absent to lagosians. You were not absent to the igbos.*

*3. I have scanned through all the contestants, I do not see an igbo man on the ballot.*

*4.When you failed to turn up for repeated debates with your co-contestants, you did not disrespect any igbo man, you disrespected lagosians, who waited to hear what you had for them.*

*5. When Lagosians complained of thugs running the city, breaking into their cars on traffic stops and threatening their everyday lives, these were not exclusively igbos complaining.*

*6. When lagosians complain of traffic gridlock, I do not see the complaint as exclusively that from the igbos.*

*7. When bus and taxi drivers complain of harassment from thugs and excessive taxation, I don't see the igbos exclusively complaining.*

*8. When lagosians complain of the opaque government, who's books are hidden from them, I do not see the complaint exclusively to the igbos.*

*9. When the bullet tracked innocent protesters and cut them down at their prime, I didn't see the bullet marked to track exclusively the Igbos sparing every other tribe, man or woman.*

*Sir,*

*Please let this obsession with igbos end. 🇳🇬's history if filled with igbos being set up for any eventualities and it is time to call this out.If your conscience tells you that lagosians are unhappy with your performance, make restitution with them, listen to them and accept their verdict.*

*Don't make it about the Igbos.*

*We are a minority in lagos and want to live our lives the best way we can like other Nigerians. Pay attention to the moans and groans of your citizens.*

*Pay attention to what they tell you. Come down to their level and stop being clever by half.*

*To every lagosian who took out time to read this, you all know where the shoe pinches, make your choice with boldness and without fear.*

*No one came to this world with the mark "governor" ascribed to their forehead.*

*I have no dog in this fight, I just want the blackmail of my own ethnic minority to end.The memoirs of 1966 is still fresh, whereas a group of young officers(of all ethnic groups) took some decisions, 3 million innocent igbos paid the price (and continue to pay the price) for what they know not.*

*Ends.*
