Former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Mr
Peter Obi, has described as deeply disturbing genocidal threats on X against
the Igbo tribe, calling for their relocation.
There are calls on social media, trending under the hashtag
#IgboMustGo on X, demanding the forced relocation of Igbo people from Lagos and
other Southwest states.
Obi said immediate action should be taken to investigate,
arrest, and prosecute those behind the heinous agenda.
In a post on his X handle on Friday, he urged those in
authority to show leadership and urgently speak out against such divisive
rhetoric.
He wrote, “Similarly, and deeply disturbing, I have read
genocidal threats on X against the Igbo tribe, calling for their relocation.
“Let me pointedly warn that such rhetoric threatens our
unity and is fundamentally opposed to our Constitution, which guarantees every
Nigerian the right to live and work freely anywhere in the country.
“Those in authority must show leadership and urgently speak
out against such divisive rhetoric.
“Immediate action should be taken to investigate, arrest,
and prosecute those behind this heinous agenda, serving as a deterrent to
others who might consider pursuing similar paths that threaten our national
security and unity.
“I urge all Nigerians to stand united against this divisive
rhetoric and to champion unity, tolerance, and understanding. Our future
depends on our ability to live and work together harmoniously.
“The government and security agencies must act swiftly to
protect this fundamental principle and ensure that every Nigerian can live free
from fear of discrimination or persecution. We must not allow our present
challenges to drive wedges among us.
“We can only overcome our national challenges if we act
together as one people United under God. -PO”
