Lagos took in non-indigenes Obi chased out of Anambra - SDP spokesman

The factional National Publicity Secretary of the Social Democratic Party, Alpha Muhammad, has claimed that Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, chased non-indigenes out of Anambra when he was governor of the state.

Muhammad berated Obi for the decision, which according to him, was still fresh in the minds of Nigerians.

Speaking in an interview with Saturday Punch, he recalled how the non-indigenes who were ejected from Anambra State, found a new home in Lagos State.

Muhammad words: “When Peter Obi was busy increasing school fees in Anambra State, Tinubu was busy introducing free education, Anambra were rushing to Lagos to benefit from free education. Every day, you see a truckload of people going to Lagos in buses to benefit from Tinubu’s free education.

“When Peter Obi came, we know what he did to non-indigenes; people who are non-Anambra citizens in Anambra State were sent out of the civil service. Many of them ended up in Lagos."

Muhammad also admitted that consultations were ongoing for the SDP to adopt the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

Extolling Tinubu's performance as a Governor, Muhammad said the APC presidential candidate gave non-indigenes of Lagos State opportunities in the civil service, while some occupied political offices, adding that he is the type of leader that can unify the country.
