A former Governor of Borno State, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, has stated that Igbos are the predominant tribe in Lagos State.
He argued that the large population of the Igbos in Lagos is why the Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, Peter Obi, recorded massive votes in the state and defeated President Bola Tinubu in his own backyard during the elections.
The Sheriff submitted that the Igbos in Lagos voted for Obi, while only a few of the other tribes voted for the Labour Party candidate.
