Awori indigenes storm Tinubu’s residence in protest

Some indigenes of Awori  have stormed the Lagos residence of the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, to protest the marginalisation of their people in the appointment of public officials.
The protesters said none of the Awori indigenes from their communities had been appointed into public office in the last 16 years despite their support for the Lagos State Government and Tinubu.
The group, on Sunday, urged Tinubu and the APC-led government in the state to address their complaint.

One of the leaders of the Awori, Chief Lateef Balogun, said,
“I am the Ashipa of Agboyi. We have been supporting Asiwaju Tinubu since he was elected as the Lagos State governor on the platform of the defunct Alliance for Democracy. We have always done our best to ensure that his party wins elections in the state, but what we get in return is marginalisation.
“We are here today to complain over the marginalisation of our people in all levels of government. He created the 37 Local Council Development Areas for us in 2002, but the Awori were not given any position in the government. So, we are begging Tinubu to look into the matter.

“We want Awori indigenes to be elected as chairmen of the local council development areas, not outsiders.”
Another leader of the protesters, Chief Bola Onikoro, alleged that the Awori were being cheated, despite the fact they have qualified candidates.
He said,
“We want peace. We, the Awori from Kosofe, Agboyi, Ojota and Isheri, want change. What we want now is that all the local government areas should be headed by our people. Our people are competent to provide quality leadership in any level of government.”
The youth leader for Ojota area of the state, Mr. Adebisi Balogun, said all the prominent positions in the LCDAs were given to non-indigenes hence didn't think it was fair.
A former Lagos State Head of Service, Mr. Sunny Ajose, who met with the protesters, praised their peaceful conduct and assured them that their grievances would be addressed.

      They did not say what they had in mind. What they wanted to say was that the Lion took over their entire land and threw them into the lagoon

    They are eligible to fight for their right. Lagos state also belong to them. According to history, their fishermen discover Lagos. So, i support them to have a fair share of the Lagos Government cake.

    I THOUGHT AWORIS ARE THE OWNER OF LAGOS, WHY ARE THEY COMPLAINING? A YORUBA/HAUSA MAN, TINUBU, NOW RULES OVER THEM AND THEY SAY LAGOS IS NOT A NO-MAN'S-LAND. O, HAVE THEY FORGOTTEN THAT ALL THE SLAVES DEPORTED FROM BRITAIN TO THE CARIBBEAN ISLANDS AND BRAZIL WERE LATER RELOCATED TO SIERRA LEONE AND LAGOS. LAGOS WAS ANNEXED AS A BRITISH COLONY ON 6 AUGUST 1861 AFTER CONCESSION OF AUTHORITY BY OBA DOCEMO (DOSUNMU). LAGOS BECAME PART OF S/WEST NIGERIA ONLY IN 1906 AFTER PROLONGED WAR BETWEEN LAGOS COLONY AND YORUBA MAINLAND STATES WHEN THEY TO BECOME A PROTECTORATE, AND RULED FROM LAGOS TO THE ADVANTAGE OF THE SUPERIOR POWER OF THE BRITISH. THE BINI WERE THE FIRST MAJOR POWER TO SETTLE IN LAGOS, THE PORTUGUESE AND THEN THE BRITISH. EKO IS A BINI WORD, AND LAGOS IS PORTUGUESE. YOU KNOW WHAT'S FUNNY, THE CAUCASIAN AMERICANS CLAIM AMERICA AS THEIRS AND NOBODY REMEMBERS THAT THERE ARE THE INDIANS WHO DOMINATED BEFORE THE BRITISH. BIG NATIONS DON'T TALK OF MY LAND, LAND IS AN ASSET YOU BUY AND SELL. ENJOY IT WHILST ALIVE BECAUSE YOU'RE GONE AFTER YOUR ACTIVE YEARS ARE OVER.

    Hmmmmmm i fear for the future of APC with all these marginalization and quest for political appointment. The Awori's should redirect their focus because the tussle in the upper chamber will determine the peaceful co-existence amongst APC party leaders.

    The major reason why the US and Europe enjoy peace among themselves is because they do not hv ethnic tribes, unfortunately we Africans are divided among ourselves, they r Yorubas but not Aworis? See problem o!
