Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has rubbished the claim by the Ohanaeze President-General, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu that Igbos developed Lagos State from swamp to a mega city.
Fani-Kayode described Iwuanyanwu’s comment as a specious lie and a disingenuous nonsense.
Iwuanyanwu had said Igbos are “the pioneers” and “heroes” of modern Lagos State.
He said Igbo forebearers made parts of the state habitable from a swampy area.
Reacting, the All Progressives Congress, APC, chieftain insisted that Lagos State was never a slum before the Igbos came.
Posting on X, Fani-Kayode wrote: “This is nothing but a specious and self-serving LIE.
“It can best be described as disingenuous nonsense!
“FACTS: Yorubas are NOT “political rascals”.
“Lagos is NOT “no mans land.
