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.

Obi emphasised the issue’s significance, stating that it transcends regional boundaries and affects all Nigerians who uphold the values of national cohesion and development.

He described the deportation as “distasteful” and warned of its potential far-reaching effects on the unity and progress of the nation.
