A PDP Chieftain, Dr Segun Ogundimu, has appealed to the Presidency to intervene in the dispute between Lagos and Anambra over the return of over 70 alleged miscreants to Anambra.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Lagos State on July 24 sent over 70 alleged miscreants to their states of origin.
The said miscreants were dropped at Upper Iweka in Onitsha, Anambra.
Ogundimu, a former Lagos State Commissioner for Health, told reporters on Friday in Lagos that the Presidency should investigate the issue.
“It will amount to complicity if this issue is not thoroughly investigated.
“And if the situation is not urgently and carefully handled, it could be detrimental to the country’s democracy.
“It will not be out of place if the Judiciary, specifically the Attorney General of the Federation is directed to investigate the situation,” Ogundimu said.
Similarly, the Lagos Chapter of the Conference of Nigerian Political Parties (CNPP) urged Governor Peter Obi of Anambra to be calm and allow the Presidency to resolve the issue.
In a statement by Hon Akinola Obadia, the chapter chairman, CNPP said the issue must not be allowed to cause disaffection.
“We in the CNPP have gone extra mile to find out the fact from the Lagos State Government,” the statement said.
It appealed against tribalising the issue, which would be resolve soon.
