Labour Party’s 2023 Presidential Hopeful, Peter Obi, Reacts to Alleged Deportation of Osun Natives from Lagos

Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), has expressed dismay regarding reports of Osun indigenes being deported by the Lagos State Government.

According to sources, numerous luxury buses purportedly discharged hundreds of young individuals across various locations in the Ilesa area of the State over the weekend. These actions were purportedly in response to claims of rounding up individuals from different parts of Lagos State.

Taking to his X account on Monday, Obi articulated that the purported deportation isn’t solely an Osun state issue but a matter of concern for all Nigerians who champion principles of unity, fairness, and justice.

He further elaborated that such actions are deeply troubling due to the extensive implications they could have on national cohesion and development.

While urging Nigerians to remain calm and watchful pending the investigation’s outcome, Obi conveyed: “I am deeply saddened and shocked by the recent reports of the deportation of citizens mostly of Osun State origin by Lagos State authorities. This is not merely a concern for Osun State but for all Nigerians who uphold the principles of unity, fairness, and justice.

“I find this action very distasteful because of the far-reaching effects it will have on our National cohesion and development. As a pan-Nigerian advocate, I vehemently oppose any form of discrimination, injustice, or violation of our citizens’ rights.

“Every Nigerian, irrespective of their state of origin or place of residence, deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. Let us always remember that we are all Nigerians, united by a common destiny.

“And that it is our collective duty to uphold the values of unity, fairness, and justice, and to stand against any form of discrimination or injustice. Our constitution guarantees every Nigerian citizen the right to reside and find livelihood in any and every part of the federation.

“I implore all Nigerians to remain calm and vigilant as we await the outcome of the investigation. Meanwhile, the security agencies in Osun State are closely monitoring the situation to ensure the safety and well-being of the deported youths.

“Together, let us strive for a Nigeria where every citizen is accorded dignity and respect, regardless of their background or place of origin or residence. A new and different Nigeria is indeed possible! Let us strive towards it in unity.
