The South-east Market Leaders Association of
Nigeria has stated that Mrs. Folashade Ojo, who claimed to have taken over
Lagos International Trade Fair complex market, is not the new Iyaloja General
of Nigeria.
The South-east market leader, Mrs. Ifeyinwa Ezenwa,
in a statement made available to the media recently, explained that the
legitimate Iyaloja General who took over from late Alhaja Abibatu Mogaji is
Mrs. Felicia Sanni and not Ojo.
According to Ezenwa, “I want to inform Mrs. Ojo
that she is just the South-west market leader, and not in position to be answered
to by Igbo union as she claims. I have documents to prove the claim if further
asked.
“The position of Iyaloja General of Nigeria is not
a family affair; in fact, the deputy to the Iyaloja General of Nigeria is in
position to take over the duties of her principal at her death or resignation, I
insist.”
Ezenwa also explained in the statement that the Law
enforcement agencies should be relevant at this time and not allow themselves
to be misled by some politicians, adding that the Market Unions in Lagos should
be aware of this, and should not aid the wrong person to authority.
“The Iyaloja General of Nigeria was her grandmother
before her death. As stated in the registered articles of the association, this
position was not designed, formed or implied to be a family business. The
Market Women Association has the Board of Trustees (BoT) who is certified of
such status during registration at the CAC.
“This document is a positive reaction against the
publication titled: ‘Tinubu’s daughter takes over Lagos International Trade
Fair complex market’, ‘where she allegedly said all traders in Lagos must be under
my control’,” she added.
