According to the report from the Vanguard, the Igboezue International Association Nigeria and the Diaspora, IIAND issued a strong warning to President Tinubu and the Lagos State government, led by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, regarding the escalating tensions fueled by the “Igbos must go” campaign initiated by some disgruntled elders and youth in Lagos State.
The group cautioned that there would be consequences if the situation were not addressed, using the proverb, “The man who brings home ant-ridden faggots must be ready for the visit of the lizard.”
Emphasizing their Nigerian identity, the group declared that the Igbo people would not be intimidated into leaving any part of the country, asserting that they were as Nigerian as any other tribe and would not abandon their homeland out of fear or pressure.
The group said this while addressing newsmen through its Anambra State chapter, Chairman, Chief Ikechukwu Nwafoawa
According to the group;
“We are warning that President Tinubu and Babajide Sanwo Olu led Lagos State government should nip in the board the near war some disgruntled elders and youth in Lagos state who are behind the recent “Igbos must go” campaign wants to cause. “The man who brings home ant ridden faggots must be ready for the visit of the lizard”. “We are also telling them that they should not touch tiger by the tell because it has consequences
We want to tell them that we are Igbo, and we will never run away for any tribe in Nigeria. We are even more Nigerian than any other tribe in Nigeria, whoever that is telling us to go or leave any part of Nigeria, must go or leave first. We are Igbos and we can never out of fear leave the country for anybody in Nigeria.”….Sêe_Morē
