Lagos Sealing Of Former Gov Orji Kalu's House

The Special Adviser (Media) to former Abia state governor, Emeka Obasi has reacted to the sealing of the Park View house of Former Governor Orji Kalu, saying that "it was done as a revenge for the criticism of Lagos state government's treatment of Igbos living in Lagos by Orji Kalu, who is the Coordinator of Njiko Igbo, a group fighting the cause of the South-East.


Obasi said the property had been there for several years and that sealing it after just two weeks of his boss criticising Fashola over the deportation issue was an indication that there was more to it.

Obasi said Kalu was not the only Igbo to have suffered such fate in Lagos State “after the wicked and ungodly act of deporting legitimate residents of Lagos State.”

He added: “Why is it that it is now that the property is being sealed, barely two weeks after my boss disagreed with the action of Fashola? We maintain our stand and this will not distract us from fighting for the people. The action of the Lagos State Government remains unconstitutional because every citizen of Nigeria has a right to live in any part of the country.

“Fashola should remember that the Igbo community constitutes about 35 per cent of registered voters in Lagos State and they should be treated like they matter in the scheme of things.”
