Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and
Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu, are among dignitaries expected
at the general Igbo cultural fiesta scheduled for Saturday at the
National Stadium, Lagos.
The traditional gong has been released
and town criers have been mandated to announce to all Igbo’s in Lagos to
turn out in their best and embrace the carnival with pomp and
celebration.
According to Chairman of the Planning Committee, Chief Tobechukwu Ezeani, the carnival, tagged ‘Ndigbo Unity Rally’, is
propelled by a deep consensus among Igbo’s in Lagos and the Diaspora
that “our spectacular cultural diversities must be harnessed as a
showpiece of our strength in unity, and speed through oneness”.
Chief Ezeani, who emphasised that our
heritage as a people is among the world finest, said his committee is
working in concert with leading business entrepreneurs, the
intelligentsia, town unions and market associations to renew and revive
our best today for a bigger tomorrow.
He said Ndigbo are being mobilised for a
productive leap to the next level possible through the awakening of
shared values of love, unity and accommodation.
“We are inviting all nationalities,
especially our dear host community, to this epic cultural confetti
because the bond of humanity is most eloquent in sharing. After all, a
masquerade cannot enjoy dancing without spectators,” he said.
