Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Thursday, condemned a post made by @Lagospedia on X (formerly Twitter) that called on the Igbo to leave Lagos and the South-West.
The post by the user on July 27, 2024, asking Lagosians to brace for a massive #IgboMustGo protest from August 20 to 30, 2024, has since generated controversy on social media.
Governor Sanwo-Olu, Gboyega Akosile, in a statement, noted that the governor and indeed, the Lagos State Government “wish to distance themselves from the reckless, divisive and dangerous rhetoric, saying Lagos remains home to every Nigerian citizen regardless of their ethnic nationality.”
Sanwo-Olu sees the post as not only reckless and divisive but also an attempt to sow a bad seed of discord between the Yoruba in the South-West and other tribes, “especially those who have made Lagos their permanent place of abode.
The governor appeals to Lagosians not to allow any person or group of individuals to create tensions in the state,
