Except you can rewrite the Nigerian constitution, Lagos belongs to ALL, Hausa, Igbo, Nupe, Ibibio, Edo, Yoruba, etc. Hence EKO is no man's land. Deal with it.

Until you can make Lagos a republic, any law promulgated by the ignorant legislature is null and void as it is subjugated or substandard to the Constitution and where such happens, the constitution take precedence.

There is NOTHING like indigenes of Lagos in Nigeria constitution. Know this and have peace.

LOVEALAIGBO:


Dude, there was no law preventing Bianca Ojukwu from contesting the senatorial position in Anambra state! She just didn’t get the support based on useless traditions, greed, male chauvinism and primordial sentiments of some antiquated Anambra indigenes and power-brokers! Their actions were wrong, and i said as much at the time!

The Anambra and Lagos scenarios are completely different in the sense that the Anambra one is a antiquated tradition not codified in law, while the Lagos one is an attempt to try and legalise xenophobia, bigotry and hate! In any case, you don’t ‘justify’ committing a illegality because you think someone else did so!

budaatum:


Bianca's situation is nothing like what is being proposed in Lagos! She could have still contested, and if people voted for her she might have won. Her situation is similar to Lagosians claiming they would not elect Obi, which they are free to do. What they can not do is pass some stupid ignorant law claiming Obi is not eligible to run because he is not from Lagos.

Oh. And please stop assuming anyone who does not support this ignorance must be from ObiTown.

budaatum:


Thankfully, the court will recognise you contravening the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

budaatum:
I'm certain this is unconstitutional. But we shall indeed see.

seunmsg:
Is this necessary?

DMerciful:
IPOB are on their own and not speaking for Obi. Obi has nothing to do with IPOB.

Obi's mandate is Nigeria's mandate

DMerciful:
Where is the source?

Jostoman:
This story is from BAT and his gullible supporters.

Peter Obi, the unsuccessful presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the last election, suffered another public humiliation at the Bayelsa State airport where his attempt to exchange pleasantries with the PDP candidate and his erstwhile boss, Atiku Abubakar, was rebuffed by the former Vice President.

Atiku was on a two-day working visit to the state partly to attend the commendation service of the father of Duoye Diri, the Bayelsa State governor. The event became a gathering of PDP leaders, a group to which Obi belonged before his foray into the Labour Party.

His exit from the party nevertheless, Obi graced the occasion and wanted a moment with his former principal Atiku at the airport but the former Vice President refused to acknowledge his greetings and remained seated in his vehicle as a visibly disappointed Obi scurried away.

Sources close to the Vice President described the event as an expression of Atiku’s displeasure at Obi whom he holds responsible for his defeat in the last election, having divided the PDP’s traditional voter base and consequently presented APC’s Bola Tinubu a clear path to the trophy.

Indeed, analysts have long maintained that the divided state of the PDP, particularly with the insurgence of Obi who was introduced to the nation by Atiku as his running mate in 2019, was a strong factor in the victory of the APC. Had Obi remained in the PDP, Atiku may have been able to shore up his losses in the North with victories in the south-east which Obi won as the Labour Party candidate in a landslide.

One of the sources told this publication, “Atiku regrets showing Obi the ropes and providing him with a platform upon which he was able to gain national recognition. Until Atiku stuck with him in 2019 and showed him the intricacies of national politics, he was a struggling former governor who couldn’t assert any influence in his home state of Anambra.”

“He never won any local election and many candidates in the state knew that an endorsement from Obi was a surefire sign of defeat because the man lacked any meaningful sway. To take that knowledge and use the same to upend your principal and ruin what may be his final shot at the presidency is a horrible betrayal and Atiku cannot forgive him for this.”

Obi is said to be seeking reconciliation with Atiku to portray the image of a “united opposition” as hearing of the legal challenge brought by both parties against APC’s victory is expected to commence soon. The former Anambra governor has reportedly admitted his growing weakness as an opposition vanguard given recent leaks and developments that dented his image and strengthened allegations of bigotry.

His humiliation in Bayelsa is only the latest airport mishap suffered by Obi in the last couple of weeks as he was also hounded by British authorities at the London Heathrow airport where he was questioned for hours over possible involvement in criminal activities.

How does that help you?… uptill now you guys don’t understand what governance is all about.

Always supporting criminals. The same Akpabio and Ganduje facing corruptions. Look at Lawan, nothing to show.

Keep recycling criminals. He just finished as a minister with nothing to write home about.
