If there ever was a more blatant and crude display of executive xenophobia , Peter Obi takes the cake for arbitrarily sacking all non indegenes (including fellow Ibos from neighbouring SE states) from the Anambra State civil service and directed same be done for those in all local govt secretariat. Most of those affected were from Enugu as Enugu and Anambra were once under one state until it was split . The then Abia state governor retaliated and sacked indegenes from Anambra in the Abia state civil service We are made to believe that the sacking was part of Obi's cost saving measures despite Anambra paying far below the national minimum wage which Obi refused to implement. Can anyone explain beyond cost cutting measures why Obi will target non indegenes for sack ? Does this not contravene anti discriminatory laws set in place to deny employment based on tribe, gender , religion , etc? Also most of those sacked had spent years in the Anambra state civil service after getting employed by old Anambra state that included both present Anambra and Enugu. |

ogolemati:Focus on the topic at hand Why did your Giringori sack all non indegenes from Anambra public service. This act shows Obi as a highly bigoted person. I remember he also caused sectarian divide between Catholics and Protestants by favouring only Catholics with appointments and contracts and that he got some Catholic reverends in Anambra to tell their congregation to vote only Obi as against Ngige who is an Anglican. This is how he was raiding and gate crashing same Protestant and Evangelical churches across Nigeria that he despised when he was governor to vote him . His yes daddy tapes also show how crass and divisive your obi can be |

FSBoperator:Tinubu sacked Igbos in Lagos civil service too, Fashola did too, and Sanwolu did same, so what's the big deal about that? Fashola even deported Igbos living in Lagos and dropped them at Onitsha head bridge. There was no proof Obi did such |

FSBoperator:Ai responds There is no confirmed evidence that Peter Obi carried out a general policy of sacking non-indigenes from the Anambra State civil service when he was governor. What you’ll find: Some political claims and interviews say non-indigenes were removed or affected during restructuring of the civil service. These claims are mostly from political opponents or media commentary. Other investigations and fact-check reports say there is no verified record of ethnic-based sack policy under his administration. There were broader civil service changes during his tenure (like audits, reforms, and workforce adjustments), but those are different from targeting people based on origin. So the accurate picture is: No solid proof of “sacking non-indigenes” as an official policy. The claim is disputed and not supported by reliable documentation. Grok responds In September 2011, Governor Peter Obi ordered an **immediate review of the employment of all non-indigenes** in Anambra State civil service during a major labour crisis and strike over minimum wage. He also threatened to sack workers employed since 2003 and placed an embargo on new hires. While critics claim this led to many non-indigenes (including Igbos from other states) being sacked or forced out, contemporary reports mainly confirm the **review order** rather than verified mass sackings specifically targeting non-indigenes. This fits a pattern of indigenes-first policies common in Nigerian states at the time, amid fiscal and labour tensions under Obi’s administration. |

Were we not here when Tinubu’s wife called on deities to cast igbos out of Lagos? Who is more tribalistic than Tinubu and his people. They wanted to throw igbos into the lagoon. They are currently fighting the north. |

Deported Igbo: Fasehun lambasts Fashola, urges him to apologise Anurika OnyelemelamBy Anurika OnyelemelamAugust 7, 2013No Comments The Chairman of the Unity Party of Nigeria, Dr. Frederick Fasehun, has urged Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola of Lagos State to immediately disband the extra-judicial and illegal detention cells in Lagos State and release all detainees. This was even as he advised Fashola to retract the eviction of the 70 ‘deportees’ and provide transport for readmitting them into the state. Addressing newsmen on Tuesday in Okota, Lagos State, Fasehun said: “Legally speaking, within these boundaries, Igbo people, like everyone else, remain Nigerians. Nigeria, as a country, has one and only one citizenship. Nigeria has only one passport. Whoever is born within the Nigerian space, with any of his parents or grandparents indigenous to Nigeria, automatically qualifies as a citizen of this country, according to Section 25 of the Constitution. “Igbo people are Nigerians, whether rich or poor, affluent or destitute. In Nigeria today, the Igbo stock represents one of the most enterprising tribes in this country. They are part and parcel of the enviable socio-economic cum socio-political advancement of Lagos State. As big-time businesses and petty traders, our Igbo brothers and sisters contribute substantially to the Internally-Generated Revenue that has made Lagos the most illustrious state in the Federation, outside petroleum funds from the Federal allocation. “We protest the inhuman treatment dispensed to these our fellow Nigerians. Evidently, these poor deportees were hounded, manhandled, maltreated and dumped like garbage.” Fasehun said that the deportation not only violated all known international conventions and Human Rights charters, it also assaults the “Right to Freedom of Movement” enshrined in Sections 41-42 of the Nigerian Constitution. He added that the hue and cry this inhumane treatment generated could only be compared to the outcry that greeted the mass killing of and mass exodus of South-Easterners from the North in the 1960s, events that sparked the Nigerian Civil War. He explained that universally, government’s primary duty is the protection of the weak. Thus the deportation of disadvantaged Nigerians by the regime in Lagos State amounted to the abdication of a moral, legal and constitutional responsibility it owes to Nigerian citizens naturally. He said: “Such an action runs against the spirit of the social contract between the government and the governed. The extradition of our Igbo brothers and sisters from Lagos is reckless, despotic, provocative and unconstitutional. It is a flagrant display of Executive lawlessness. It is descent into Apartheid. And it sends dangerous signals through the Nigerian Federation. “It holds grave implications for the unity and concord existing amongst Nigerians. Already, Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State has threatened collateral reciprocity, and understandably too. “But the deportation raises questions: Why should a Nigerian not feel free to live anywhere in Nigeria? And then, what actually is the worth of a Nigerian life?” While urging Lagos State Government to seek the forgiveness of Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State and other Easterners and make conciliatory gestures, Fasehun opined that in Lagos today, impunity is the watchword. He said that laws are made without a human face, adding that agencies and agents of the government, from state through the local governments, dehumanise citizens. He further said: “Many cases of impunity abound in the ACN-run Lagos State; some predate the regime of Governor Raji Fashola. Our investigation shows that, beginning with the last regime, the Lagos State Government has a high tally of Human Rights violations. Agencies like KAI, LASTMA and the Task Force on Environmental Offences routinely arrest and throw people into illegal detention centres operated by the administration. Victims are held in sub-human conditions, where they lack access to food, toilet, sleeping space or legal representation. “Such victims languish in detention cells located at Alausa, Kirikiri Prisons, Potoki Prisons in Badagry and Ikorodu Prisons. In all these places, people are in confinement for menial reasons like driving offences, for crossing the highway, for any of the ubiquitous environmental related offences, including urinating in a public drain, for street trading, for riding commercial motorcycles, and so on. In UPN, we shall continue to work for the unity of Nigeria. This commitment has been enshrined in our Constitution, Manifesto and our slogan.” He argued that what the Lagos State Government did was not a Yoruba agenda as speculated by some people, but rather a lone decision by the state government. |

NATIONALPASTOR:Liar. Tinubu was the first governor to employ non indegenes to which Ibos were the top beneficiaries . Tinubu even had Ibos as commissioners and heads of Lagos state agencies and special advicers. Have you forgotten Joe Igbokwe all of a sudden ? Even up till this moment Ibos are being employed into Lagos state civil service and agencies the most obvious being the young ibo girl that was insulting Yorubas and Lagos state while being employed by Lagos state Metro line. |

Validated:Why should NDC field non indegenes and have party excos from the SE as ward chairman in Lagos? Back to the topic: So Ibos from outside their states have no business working in the state civil service of other SE states but you want to drag political office with Yorubas. |

FSBoperator:God bless you. Ben Akabueze etal too. The only people never interested in history na those lot because documented history discredits and indicts them of long-standing wrongdoing and hypocrisy they are still guilty of today. I laugh when they try to launder Obi's image as a tolerant leader who loves all Nigeria while seeking to portray Tinubu as a "Yorubanisation" bigot. What is history, that shows who did what, meant to teach us if not how to be more progressive? My bro, I seriously despair for Nigeria with how many Nigerians are simply too bigoted, prejudiced and emotional to work with facts and reality

Counterigbolies:Their Obi campaigned against Ngige by claiming that the ACN Ngige was running under was a Yoruba party and that Anambra people should reject Ngige because of him being in the ACN. He will also campaign against Ngige being an Anglican and got those Anambra Catholic reverends to tell their congregation to vote Obi based on him being a catholic. This is the only time I have seen sectarian divide in descent history between Protestants and Catholics outside of Northern Ireland and it was all courtesy of Obi Giringori. This same Obi will later be hoping from Protestant church one pulpit to another to spread his religious war nonsense. The punishment God has reserved for Obi abusing the pulpit and causing division among Christians he will reap both in this life and thereafter. |
