 Former President Ulushagun Obasanjo has condemned the anti-Igbo sentiments in Nigeria, which he called Igbophobia. Obasanjo, who spoke at an event in Anambra to commemorate Chukumar Saludo's one-year in office, asked the governor of the state on Saturday, said when he was president, Saludo was on his team as his economic adviser, and they worked well together. In a statement, Alex Obonaya, National Publicity Secretary of Apex Igbo, Social Cultural Group, said there is a need to end atrocities against the Igbos in Lagos state. He urged the government to curb the humiliation the people have been subjected to since the 2023 general elections began. You said an Igbo woman, minister of finance, an Igbo man, governor of central bank, then you have really completed the task of ruining the economy of Nigeria. Now, I don't know why he said that, except for what I can call Igbophobia. But when you have the type of thing that was said to me, and the type of thing that you know is going on, what I call, as I have just called it, what do we do with it? I believe we have to go back to the scripture which says we must conquer evil with whoever you are, wherever people are being afraid of you, you must make yourself friendly to those who are afraid of you.
