Oba in Lagos to make no delay in apologizing to Igbos for
his harsh statement towards them on Sunday when Eze
Ndigbos (Igbo traditional rulers) of all the local governments
in Lagos came to pay him a courtesy visit in his palace.
Mr Falana in a statement released today said the Oba's
diversionary threat is totally unacceptable as it is a mockery
of the political objective of national integration.
"It is illegal as it clearly offends Section 42 of the Constitution
which has prohibited discrimination on grounds of ethnicity,
religion, political opinion, creed or sex," Mr. Falana said.
He also says the Oba lacks the power to cause anyone to 'die
in the Lagoon within seven days,' stating the threat
constitutes a violation of the fundamental right of thousands
of citizens to life. He however urged the Oba to apologize
without delaying.
