Recently, a tweet had surfaced on a popular X handle calling on Southwest stakeholders to prepare for a massive protest of #IgboMustGo on August 20 to 30. The tweet said that Igbos have one month to relocate their businesses from all Southwest states.
While reacting to the tweet, Peter Obi said that every Nigerian has the right to live and work in any part of the country, and called on the people in authority to speak up against the statement.
Speaking further, the former Anambra State governor called on the security agencies to go after the people behind the statement so that it would be a deterrent to other people who may want to consider such actions in the future.
He said, “Similarly, deeply disturbing, I have read genocidal threats on X against the Igbo tribe, calling for their relocation.
