A lawyer and human rights activist, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, says the Federal Government should be held responsible over the #Igbomustgo campaign in Lagos.
Speaking to newsmen in Owerri, Ejiofor linked the campaign to President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga’s statement during the build-up to the 2023 Presidential campaign.
According to him, the mastermind of the #IgboMustGo movement may not be acting alone in the agenda.
“The social media has not forgotten the vituperative, ethnically charged statements against the Igbo community, spearheaded by Onanuga.
“These hateful comments are still visible for the world to see. Currently, Onanuga serves as a Special Adviser to President Tinubu, and his divisive rhetoric is being promoted by those he has influenced.
“Onanuga threatened the Igbo community in Lagos with severe consequences if they didn’t vote for Tinubu, leading to direct physical attacks, killings, and consequent destruction of Igbo properties under the pretext of violating the city’s master plan.
“These threats, seemingly endorsed by those at the helm of affairs, persist and could escalate into full-scale violence if not addressed immediately.
“I strongly believe this is a carefully planned agenda, and I urge our Igbo brothers and sisters in Lagos to remain vigilant.
“This conspiracy seems to have the backing of those in power, and it should not be taken lightly,” he alleged.
