The post, which went viral on July 27, 2024, announced a planned #IgboMustGo protest from August 20 to 30, 2024, sparking widespread outrage on social media. “They have one month from now to leave and relocate their business from all South-West states. We urge all Yorubas living in the South-East to return home.” In a statement released late Thursday, Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to Governor Sanwo-Olu, Gboyega Akosile, emphasised that the governor and the Lagos State Government strongly disavow the inflammatory and divisive rhetoric.

The new PSquare was peaceful. I needed the past mistakes not to repeat themselves. But then again, he [Peter] said he’s no more doing [no longer interested]. In fact, he told me in the face that he wants to quit. I asked if we could make it public and he refused. But what will happen when I go solo? People will call me the bad person. That’s why I’m speaking up now,” Rudeboy said. Source: Leadership newspaper. https://leadership.ng/again-paul-peter-okoye-part-ways/ #nigeriantiktok #nigerianewstoday #EndBadGovernance
