The Lagos State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has counselled the Lagos State Governor to adopt a more diplomatic, Civil and honourable manner of addressing Nigerians, especially in his usual threats to non-Lagosians to leave the state or be ready to face his manner of governance.
The Party speaking through its State Chairman, Tunji Shelle, posited that it is very unbecoming of the State Governor to be quick in asking non lagosians to leave lagos state whenever such persons seek redress or demand their Rights as Nigerians.
This position is coming as a reaction to the latest assertion by the governor that the Lagos traffic Law and other unpopular laws in the state must be obeyed and that those who are not ready to obey or live in lagos in particular manners should return to their villages.
"We are taken aback to hear a Governor, lawyer and indeed SAN threaten or make statements suggestive of ignorance to nigerians. Under no circumstance can anybody, not even the president, "deport" any Nigerian from any state in the country.
The Right of a Nigerian to live and not be discriminated against is guaranteed under the constitution of our great country. No Law can thus be made to frustrate or erode such guarantee. The Governor ought to know this and remain civil" The Party has thus called on the presidency and the National Assembly to call the Lagos State governor to order to respect the sacrosanct Right of every Nigerian to live in any part of the Country.
Similarly, the party has called on the Leaders and Elders of lagos State to advise the governor against taking steps that can expose lagosians outside the state to hatred.
