A Pan – African group known as the Enugu State Roots Initiatives (ESRI) has demanded immediate payment of N500 billion for the compensation of people deported to Anambra state recently by the Lagos government. The body also asked the Lagos State government to provide them (the deportees) with a befitting housing accommodation and publicly apologies for denigrating their personal liberty and smearing the sanctity of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
They also called on other Igbo groups and professionals to speak up in condemnation of the act. They also condemned the sealing off of Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu’s property and frowned at the statement credited to the former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani Kayode, saying such statements were capable of bringing about ethnic hatred and a break down of law order.
Well they said “if the Lagos state Government and their Governor fails to do these things within one month, they would be left with no option than to conclude that it was done with clear negative mind-set and vendetta and they would have to take legal action”
I totally agree with the compensation and apology thing………but I think that N500 billion is way too much, what do you think?
