South East Lawmakers Petition IG, Demand ‘igbo Must Go’ Sponsors Arrest by LegendHero(m): 12:36pm On Aug 07
The joint caucus of the South East members of the National Assembly has petitioned the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, calling on him to arrest and prosecute those instigating anti-Igbo action in the South West.

The lawmakers made this known in a petition signed by the leader of the South East Senate Caucus, Enyinnaya Abaribe, and the leader of the House of Representatives, Igariwey Enwo, submitted to the IG at the police headquarters in Abuja on Tuesday.

The lawmakers called the attention of the IG to an anti-Igbo post made on July 27 on social media @Lagospedia wherein Lagosians and South West stakeholders were asked to prepare for a massive protest of #IgboMustGo on August 20 to 30.

The post further gave Igbos in the South West one month to leave and relocate their business from all South West states and for all Yoruba living in the South East to return home.

The lawmakers, therefore, said that since the post was sent out and despite the fact that the X account in question was deactivated on August 3, the social media has been awash with vitriol against the Igbo with several handles.

The petition read, “It is on record that a Yoruba man initiated the call for the protest and that leaders of the South East had called on our people not to join the protest; hence, the relative peace we are enjoying in the region, as there were barely any protests.”

The Caucus stressed that “Nigeria is home to all of us, and as we battle to keep this country on the track of growth and greatness, efforts must be made to ensure that every part of the country is given a sense of belonging.

“This is only possible when relevant government bodies protect the rights of people.”

lol

We’ve always heard from Ibo people that they want another country. Shouldn’t they be happy that someone is helping them fulfil their ambition by telling them to leave the SW?

Only Lagospedia spoke and south east leader had to go beg Atiku to help them beg the SW governor. Their senators, ohaneze, and now house of rep leaders are panicking and running about in fear.

What did they do when Ibo told Fulani to go the other time? Did they condemned it?

They are just making noise. Instead of addressing the issues in their own backyard, they are busy chasing shadows. The Igbos should focus on their business and leave the Yoruba to their affairs. This kind of petition only shows how out of touch they are with reality.

Peter Obi was romancing this guy pushing deadly hate on Northerners but yet SE lawbreakers do not deem it fit to caution the guy. Now they are damn scared that Yoruba people are waking up to their nonsense. Only lagospedia roar and all SE people are crying and running around in fear.

Lagospedia deserves a medal.

Ibo people and fear fear.

They will need to do more than just petitioning the IG because I’m sure he will throw it in the bin. Lagospedia stand gidigba.

Even if they arrest him, they will free him the next day because he broke no law. It is freedom of speech, the Lilly livered South East leader are just panicking coz of a threat by a fine boy like Lagospedia.

cheesy
To be honest, I really do not support that Lagospedia guy and I'm really happy with how all SW leaders handled the issue so far

But then, If a random post by just one dude could make the whole region this jittery, I wonder what would have happened if Igboho or a few SW top people actually made those comments(Like Obi did when he was Anambra Gov)?

I'm glad Lagos didnt share boundaries with any other Nigerian state outside SW region. Just think for a while if Lagos was actually in present day Edo state shocked


As for the Igbos, The fact that their Reps, Ohaneshit and Govs could come out to say the same thing on this, yet never came together for once to ask for referendum/ push for secession is a proof that they arent serious with their Biafra agitation

It isnt supposed to be a big deal. It was just one random fellow that posted it on twitter and since Gov Sanwo-Olu distanced himself from it, I guess it should have all died down


The Igbos just keep blowing it out of proportion, cause no one took that guy seriously in the SW and also since that random fellow didnt even have any SW stakeholders on his side

It should be treated like just a rant from one angry fellow but no, all their council of elders keep making it seem like a big deal

Bro, who told you he has no one on his side? We the patriot are all supporting lagospedia.

Sanwoolu will just burn himself if he believes pandering to these people against his own is the way to go. Lagospedia did no wrong, why are these cry babies after him?

Same Igbo leader supporting terrorists and begging FG to release Kanu have no moral standing to call for anybody arrest.

You are right that no SW leader is backing him yet

Our goal is to make sure they start backing anything we say. We elect them and anytime we tell them stuffs, they must concur.

Lagospedia did no wrong. They should rather give him a good position and reward him instead of this nonsense.

Lol no be Yoruba send IBB packing? IBB has consistently denied he said that nonsense.

Why are the Ibo leaders scared to their pant then if they take heed to the fake news about IBB?

In the span of three days, ohaneze, Igbo leaders, Moghalu, Obi and everybody don Dey panic dey beg Sanwo daily to arrest the guy. They even ran to Atiku to help them beg.

Even Asleep TV dey talk am daily dey should “Ibo lives in danger”, “Sanwo please help”, “Aaa they want to do pogrom o”, “ah CNN come and see o”.

The call for Igbos to leave Lagos or Nigeria entirely should not come from the street or from a Yoruba tout,Tell your senators to make it legal by moving a motion in national assemby for ndi Igbo to leaveNigeria by so doing it will be formal and constitutional.Oya the ball is your court.Anything outside this is a joke from Ronu criminal gang.
