Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate, has expressed his deep concern and condemnation over the recent deportation of citizens predominantly from Osun State by Lagos State authorities.

The incident has sparked outrage and raised questions about the principles of unity, fairness, and justice within Nigeria.
