Ezendigbo Ijegun/Ijeododo palace refutes claims of opposing Gov. Babajide Sanwoolu Re-election bid, Says they are partisan.
By Onome Naomi
The Ezendigbo Palace chaperoned by HRM Eze Chika Nwokedi has repeatedly stated that the Ijegun Ijeododo palace is not a political separatist and would never be against Gov. Babajide Sanwoolu’s government as misinterpreted by an anonymous sender of a viral WhatsApp message suggesting a “work against” the present government of Lagos State.
Lagos State has given a good leverage for non indigenes enough for adequate support in its re-election bid and would not be condemned or denied the ample respect of the Ezendigbo Ijegun Ijeododo palace to work with the Lagos government not work against it.
To this regards, a disclaimer was released from the Ijegun Ijeododo palace by Chief Dr.Godwin Aneme the cabinet chairman to disclaim such message concocted to breach peace as it reads:
DISCLAIMER! DISCLAIMER!! DISCLAIMER!!!
