According to him ”I reasoned that if my yearly end of year party for members of the Igbo community in Ejigbo is spiced up by the presence of  members of the Yoruba  community and other ethnic nationalities in Ejigbo, it sure will reunite and patch up areas of strain in the relationship that we share in the community. I trust that it has gone a long way to improve our bonding with one another“

Eze  John Nwosu who arrived in a dramatic manner with his enigmatic chaperon chipped in ; “this is a wonderful gathering and I am very happy to be here present and not be told”

APC Chairman in Ejigbo  Hon. Fatai Kasumu also wished the event is celebrated annually adding that he was impressed with the turn out of Nigerians.
