They, however, seized the opportunity afforded them bt the press statement to make a point known to the President in event he reshuffles his cabinet soon, as reported in the news.
“We have received media reports about possible a cabinet reshuffle by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, if true, we welcome any changes that will make his administration more versatile.
“It is therefore our wish to draw the attention of His Excellency to the wishes of most indigenes of Lagos state that an indigenes from any IBILE division so appointed by you as a minister be given a substantive and full port folio, not a junior’ minister. This will be a good step towards cementing a better relationship with us as well as assuaging the feelings of the indigenes towards being alienated.
“We pray for His Excellency for the energy and wisdom filled with filled with Grace of God to always do the right thing for us and practical steps by giving Lagos State the Ministerial slot that she deserves.
“The great strength of lagos state is the unity and understanding that had been its hallmark that bonded the indigenes together during the colonial administration before and after amalgamation in 1914.
“This is with the assurance of our best wishes, Mr.President,” the statement said.
