He said: “whatever anybody says, the Igbos are a unique people in the country. God forbid, if Nigeria should break, they are the only nation that can survive because they are industrious people. “All the permanent structures found everywhere are owned by the Igbo people. Wherever you go in the country, you will find an Igbo man there. “No Igbo man can vote for any other party in Ekiti State except the party I belong to because we are bonded with one another”

Chief Nathaniel Ezeonu who is the president-general of Ndigbo Community in South West told Fayose that they were interested in having their own market in the state. He also begged the governor not to close Fayose market in Ekiti as it is believed to be populated by Igbo traders.
