I’m writing to you with a heavy heart, still reeling from the emotions of Monday’s election. We came together as a community, as a family, to choose our leaders, and we’ve got our president. Yet, I’m aware some of us are hurting, feeling aggrieved, and that’s okay. It’s okay to feel.

“But let me tell you, peace is paramount. Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God” (Matthew 5:9). We’ve got a greater purpose here, brothers and sisters. We’ve got a legacy to uphold, and it starts with unity.

“Think about it, we’ve got Senator Mbata, our apex leader, watching over us. If not for anything, let’s do it for him, for the sake of our community, and for the sake of our own souls. “A house divided against itself cannot stand” (Mark 3:25). Let’s not let our differences tear us apart.

“We’re all here in Lagos for the same reason: seeking a greener pasture, a better life. Every Igbo man and woman came here with a dream, with hope, and with determination. Let’s not let petty differences turn us against each other. We’re not the problem; we’re the solution. We’re Igbo, and we’re stronger together.

“Let’s be real, brothers and sisters, we’re living in a world where we’re often misunderstood, and sometimes even hated, just because of our identity. But that’s exactly why we need to stick together, why we need to be united. Only peace among us will save us. Only unity will make us resilient, will make us strong.

“To those feeling aggrieved, I want you to know: you’re not alone. Your voices are heard, and we want you to be part of the solution. We want to absorb you into the executive, to be part of the reconciliation process. Let’s work together, let’s heal together.

“Love covers a multitude of sins” (1 Peter 4:8). Let’s cover our differences with love, forgiveness, and unity. Let’s move forward together, hand in hand.

Peace is possible. Let’s make it happen.

Warm regards”,
