\n

The pan-Yoruba socio-cultural and socio-political organization, Afenifere, has condemned calls by some Yoruba extremists demanding the exit of Nigerians of Igbo extraction from the South-West.<\/p>\n

The organization assured all Nigerians living legitimately in \u201cany part of Yoruba land to entertain no fear about their safety or be afraid of being forced out of the area\u201d.<\/p>\n

The assurance was contained in a statement by the organization\u2019s National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Jare Ajayi, while reacting to a post by a non-descript social media handle tagged \u2018LagosPedia\u2019 which warned Igbos living in Lagos and South-West Nigeria to leave the area within one month.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST reports that the post, which went viral on Thursday causing apprehension in Lagos and other parts of South-West, also gave the Igbos one-month ultimatum to vacate the region.<\/p>\n

The hashtag #Igbomustgo also called on all Yorubas living in the South-East to \u201creturn home\u201d.<\/p>\n

The post reads: \u201cLagosians and every South-West stakeholders should prepare for the massive protest of #IgboMustGo on the 20th \u2013 30th of August.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have 1 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Afenifere not only dismissed the threat, it also declared that those behind the unwarranted, provocative and divisive campaign \u201care out to cause disaffection among Ndigbo and Yorubas\u201d.<\/p>\n

Afenifere went further to state that there is no plan anywhere to expel any group of people who are peacefully doing their businesses from any part of the South-West.<\/p>\n

The organization added, \u201cThose who are being called to be ousted from the South-West are the unscrupulous herders who are making life difficult for our farmers and rural women.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this wise, our Igbo brothers and sisters living in Lagos and the South-West should not entertain any fear of expulsion. We are all Nigerians\u201d.<\/p>\n
