Ohanaeze has lampooned a PDP chieftain, Bode George, for criticising Igbos who built houses and developed Lagos state. The group described him as unstatesmanly.

The debate over who founded Lagos has been around for some time, with different commentators giving varying views on the founder of the fast-developing coastal state.

The Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II, has sparked controversy among Nigerians especially on social media when the king said the Binis founded Lagos.

A lecturer of History at the Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko, Dr Paul Akanmidu, said the Aworis founded Lagos not the Binis as Oba of Benin as claimed.
