The apex Igbo sociocultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, on Sunday commended former President Olusegun Obasanjo for condemning the IgboMustGo hashtag.
An X handle named ‘LagosPedia’ had recently demanded the “the forced relocation of Igbo people from Lagos and other South West states within one month.
The hashtag #Igbomustgo also called on all “the Yoruba living in the South East to return to the South West.
The handle had said Lagosians and all South-West stakeholder should prepare for a massive #IgboMustGo protest from the 20th to 30th of August, 2024.
Condemning the agitation, Obasanjo had said those behind the call should leave Lagos State.
The National Publicity Secretary of Ohanaeze, Alex Ogbonnia, commended the former President for standing up against the orchestrated ethnic profiling, hate speech, incendiary, inflammatory rhetoric and outright demolition of Igbo properties in Lagos.
