Dr. Yunusa Tanko, the chief spokesperson of the Labour Party (LP), has denounced President-elect Bola Tinubu’s silence on the ongoing ethnic profiling of Igbos in Lagos State.
He stated that Tinubu’s silence was hazardous to Nigeria’s survival.
Tanko stated in a statement that Tinubu should have spoken out against the threats and intimidation directed at Igbo and Nigerians from the South/South zone of Lagos, as well as any other ethnicity.

He stated that Nigerians expected Tinubu, as a former governor of the state, to speak out against the threats and intimidation directed at Igbo and Nigerians from the South/South zone of Lagos, as well as any other ethnicity.
He wondered if Tinubu’s quiet was due to his loss in the state during the presidential election.
Tanko said: “We are worried over what could become of Nigeria, especially grave danger to ethnic war against other tribes, if he presides over Nigeria as its President.
“We must be reminded that when Hitler started with Communists, everyone kept quiet, he descended on Catholics, everyone kept quiet and he descended on Jews, everyone kept quiet because he is not Jewish, until Hitler descended on all.
“The story about the Rwandan example is too gory to contemplate. But, the way things are going in Lagos State, where Tinubu is also said to be a settler, shows that Rwanda can happen in Nigeria.

“This also serves a warning to all concerned citizens brothers nation wide that Nigeria is one and no any tribe should be a targets, for political gain.”
“If I am Tinubu, I will call my supporters to order and reduce acrimony. For God’s sake, where is the unity in victory, albeit contested?
”Why is Lagos election do or die for a president-elect? This a bad omen. Perhaps, Tinubu is angry that majority of voters in Lagos did not vote for him.”
