The presidency led by President Muhammadu Buhari has reacted to a video asking Igbos to leave Yorubaland.
In a statement on Sunday by his spokesperson, Garba Shehu, the President condemned all forms of hate messages and eviction notices to ethnic and religious groups in the country.
President Buhari emphasized that all citizens have a constitutional right to live and work in any part of Nigeria they so desire and this right will be defended by his administration.
The statement noted that: “President Buhari also condemned hate messages and eviction notices to ethnic and religious groups asking Nigerians to take pride in the fact that our diverse people have been living with one another in harmony for ages.”
Buhari’s reaction is coming after Grandson Adeyinka, a UK-based Nigerian, in a video circulating on social media, called on Igbo indigenes to leave south-west states.
The UK-based Nigerian issued a 48-hour ultimatum to the Igbo, warning that those who refuse to leave will be dealt with.
