Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir David Lawal, expressed confusion regarding Onanuga’s negative sentiments towards the Igbo people. Lawal highlighted the positive aspects of the Igbo community, emphasizing their presence as classmates from primary through university, as well as business partners and neighbors.
This is coming after Bayo Onanuga, suggested that the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protest was backed by Peter Obi and the Obidient Movement.
Lawal pointed out the integral role that Igbo individuals play in various aspects of society, such as commerce.
He recounted a personal experience of an Igbo individual in his village who had become a well-integrated member of the community, engaging in the local economy by selling traditional gin and establishing a family and farmlands in the area.
In addition, Lawal acknowledged Tinubu’s positive attributes but raised concerns about the influence of individuals like Onanuga, whom he described as sycophants incapable of providing honest feedback to Tinubu.
According to Daily Post, Babachir said, “I really don’t know what Onanuga’s problem with Igbos is. Igbos are good people. They are our classmates from primary, secondary schools to university. They are our business partners; they are our neighbors.”….Seē _ Morē
