Idimogu, who was recently made the apex leader of Ndigbo in Lagos, following the exit of Joe Igbokwe, Special Adviser to Governor Sanwo-Olu on Drainage and Environment, stressed that the time had come for Ndigbo to come on board the party with vision, maintaining that the people would no longer be in opposition, to avoid losing their due rights as stakeholders in the state.

“I have come to pay a royal visit, request the blessing of the royal father, and market our great party because our people cannot continue to be in opposition. I am happy that the Eze said he would soon declare for the party.

We have always lost being in opposition. My leadership would be transparent and anchored on due consultations” he said.
