The 2023 Labour Party Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi, said the deportation of Osun State citizens from Lagos State by the state government is unconstitutional.
Recall that on Saturday, the Sahara Reporter allegedly reported that some Osun State youth were allegedly deported to Osun State from Lagos State.
Obi shared this dissatisfaction with the recent deportation of citizens on his X page on Monday, stating that all Nigerians have the right to live in any part of the states in Nigeria, irrespective of state of origin, and should be treated with “dignity and respect.”
He also added that he finds it “distasteful because of the far-reaching effects it will have on our national cohesion and development.”
