Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah, Tinubu, Ekweremadu, others for Igbo Unity Carnival in Lagos

The Chairman, Capi­tal Oil and Publish­er of The Authority Newspapers, Dr Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah, the National Leader of the All Progres­sives Congress (APC), Asi­waju Ahmed Bola Tinubu and the Senate Deputy President, Senator Ike Ek­weremadu are some of the personalities that will grace the Igbo unity carni­val in Lagos on November 26 as Guests of Honour.

Others include, Prince Authur Eze and governors of the Igbo speaking states of Abia, Anambra, Enugu, Ebonyi, Imo, Delta and Rivers.

A statement from the organizers said, “Igbo Community in Lagos is set to storm the city with a captivating cul­tural fiesta come Novem­ber 26, at the National Sta­dium, Lagos in a manner not seen or rivaled in re­cent times. The traditional gong has been ceremoni­ally released and the town criers have been given the mandate to announce to all Igbos in Lagos to turn out in their best and em­brace this carnival with pomp and celebration.”

The dimension of this carnival tagged: ‘Ndigbo Unity Rally’ according to the Chairman of the Plan­ning Committee, Chief To­bechukwu Ezeani, is pro­pelled by a deep consensus among all Igbos in Lagos and in the diaspora that the spectacular cultural diversities of the Igbo must be harnessed as a show­piece of strength in unity and oneness. Ezeani, who emphasised that the herit­age of the Igbos as a peo­ple is among the world’s finest, said his committee is working in concert with leading lights of our busi­ness entrepreneurs, the intelligentsia, town unions and market associations to renew and revive the best today for a bigger tomor­row.
