August 04, (THEWILL) – The governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has distance himself and the government from what he described as the reckless, divisive and dangerous rhetoric, implied in a post by LagosPedia, on an X account calling on the Igbo to vacate Lagos and Southwest of Nigeria and brace up for a massive hashtag #IgboMustGo protest from 20th to 30th August, 2024, saying Lagos remains home to every Nigerian citizen regardless of their ethnic nationality.
Governor Sanwo-Olu said the post was not only reckless and divisive but also an attempt to sow a seed of discord between the Yoruba in the Southwest and other tribes, especially those who have made Lagos their permanent place of abode.
His Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Gboyega Akosile said the governor has appealed to Lagosians not to allow any person or group of individuals to create tensions in the state, calling on the security agencies to promptly investigate those behind the handle and bring them to justice.

“Mr. Governor enjoined Lagosians to ignore the post and any post of that nature, promising to double his efforts towards ensuring lasting peace in the State,’ Akosile said.
