Atiku Condemns #IGBOMUSTGO Threat, Calls For Immediate Action

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has strongly condemned the recent social media campaign calling for the forced relocation of Igbo people from Lagos and other Southwest states.

In a statement released on his X handle, Atiku described the #IgboMustGo threat as “deeply troubling” and “fundamentally opposed to the principles of unity and coexistence that define our nation.”

The former Vice President expressed concern over the divisive rhetoric, warning that it endangers peace and security in the country. He cited the example of Rwanda, where similar inflammatory rhetoric led to devastating consequences.

Atiku called on the Nigerian government and relevant authorities to take immediate and strong action against those inciting hatred and division. He emphasized the need to investigate, arrest, and prosecute individuals promoting ethnic discrimination and violence.

The statement urged all Nigerians to stand united against the divisive rhetoric and champion unity, tolerance, and understanding. Atiku stressed that Nigeria’s strength lies in its diversity and that efforts to sow discord among people must be resisted.

The #IgboMustGo threat has sparked widespread outrage and concern among Nigerians, with many calling for swift action against those responsible.
