The Unity Party of Nigeria, UPN, has said that the Lagos state government must rescind the eviction of over 70 indigenes of the South-East and South-South and provide transportation for readmitting them into the state.

The party also said the Lagos State government must put together a compensation and rehabilitation plan for the affected persons.
Lagos must rescind eviction of over 70 Igbos –UPN
Speaking at a press conference through its National Chairman, Dr Fredrick Fasehun, the UPN said: “Rather than continue to defend the indefensible, Lagos State should bury its head in shame, seek the forgiveness of Governor Peter Obi and other Easterners and make conciliatory gestures.

“Lagos State must apologise to the people of the South-East and the South- South for this chauvinistic act. Never again must such an action be taken in Nigeria against bonafide Nigerian citizens.”

Fasehun said some of those who were evicted were apprehended for crossing, begging or hawking on busy highways, adding that, they were denied legal representation as they never had access to lawyers to defend them.

His words: “The deportation not only violates all known international conventions and Human Rights charters, it assaults the ‘Right to Freedom of Movement’ as enshrined in Sections 41-42 of the Nigerian Constitution.”

I don't care whether Fashola or Obi is right or wrong
My own is that let no one use it this issue politicize governorship elections in my state.

And then another 1diot takes advantage and get into office.
Not after the last 8 years we've had.

Thats Al Mustapha's faction of OPC.

Fasheun is done, he will be lucky if his party get 1000 votes in SW.

Fashola is a political leper now. LOL

At least he will hold his head high up and say, when it mattered I stood up for the truth and in defence of the Nigerian constitution.

Fasheun! One of the few men who refused to be enchanted by tinibu's spell

Onlytruth: Fashola is a political leper now. LOL

Fashola has ignored him. This is the third time Fasheun came to the public with his nonsense. Yorubas are not taking him serious. If you want him in SE please feel free to invite him over.

The first and only yoruba man to make sense in decades. All the APC ants and cocroaches in nairaland to the rescue of the about to fall so-called progresives fashole. In short just google " yoruba are" you will be amaze at what you will see.

What a clown! Does he think any Yoruba still pays him any attention? He should go and naturalise in Anambra. Agbaya alainitiju, alatenuje!

Baba fasheun is a confused old man. He is using cheap antics to gain popularity. Why am surprise that an old man begging to pipeline 'maiguard' could descend lower. I no for sure that, aside ranting on each other here on nairaland, yoruba people has no grudges against the ibos. So if you will criticize fashola do so as a lagosian not as an ibo

he should speak for himself
