This is not coincidental; it is a calculated political maneuver rooted in resentment, identity politics, and shortsighted leadership.<\/p>\n<p>The long-simmering tension between Yoruba and Igbo communities reached a boiling point during the 2023 elections. Peter Obi of the Labour Party shocked the political establishment by defeating Bola Ahmed Tinubu\u2014Lagos\u2019s long-reigning political figure\u2014in the presidential poll within the state. That upset sent shockwaves through the ruling APC, and fears grew that a similar surprise might unfold in the governorship race. What followed was an aggressive, divisive campaign that shamelessly weaponized ethnicity, fear, and misinformation.<\/p>\n<p>Wild accusations flew: that the Igbo had \u201cbought up\u201d Lagos, \u201ctaken over\u201d the economy, and were scheming to seize political power. These narratives were dangerous\u2014and not entirely new. But while they didn\u2019t arise in a vacuum, they have been irresponsibly amplified.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s true that some individuals within the Igbo community, in asserting cultural pride, have crossed into political overreach\u2014not just in Nigeria but abroad. A recent example is an Igbo man in Ghana who purchased large tracts of land and declared himself a king, sparking fears\u2014justified or not\u2014of secessionist ambitions in host communities. Similarly, the proliferation of self-styled \u201cEze Ndi Igbo\u201d (Igbo kings) across non-Igbo regions can be perceived as provocative, especially when seen as parallel authority structures. While these acts may stem from pride and cultural identity, they can easily be exploited by opportunistic politicians to sow fear and division.<\/p>\n<p>But make no mistake: these isolated actions do not justify collective punishment or cultural erasure.<\/p>\n<p>Lagos was built by many hands\u2014Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Urhobo, Tapa, and more. Its strength lies in its diversity. To target any group\u2014especially one so deeply embedded in the city\u2019s economy and social fabric\u2014is not just morally wrong; it is politically suicidal.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than stoking ethnic division, Lagos leaders should focus on the real threats to the city: youth unemployment, drug addiction, urban decay, traffic congestion, and collapsing infrastructure. These are the issues threatening Lagos\u2019s future\u2014not the names on its street signs.<\/p>\n<p>What makes this ethnic posturing even more shortsighted is the broader national context. Discontent is rising across Nigeria. The economy is reeling, inflation is crushing households, and insecurity remains rampant. As the 2027 elections approach, the ruling APC is grappling with waning public trust. Alienating a significant Southern demographic\u2014the Igbo\u2014while Northern political elites express growing dissatisfaction with Tinubu\u2019s leadership is a dangerous gamble.<\/p>\n<p>Just recently, Northern heavyweight Rabiu Kwankwaso declared that the North feels marginalized under Tinubu\u2019s presidency and may not support his re-election. If the North grows distant and the Southeast is antagonized, where will the support come from? This trend risks isolating the South West politically\u2014and that isolation will not bode well for the Yoruba, both at home and in the diaspora.<\/p>\n<p>This is where President Bola Ahmed Tinubu must rise above the fray. He cannot afford to allow partisan loyalty or ethnic sentiment to blind him to the growing danger of ethnic polarization. Left unchecked, it could spiral into something far more sinister\u2014even ethnic cleansing. Nigeria is too fragile for such a descent.<\/p>\n<p>The President must initiate a process of reconciliation. He should reach out to Igbo leaders\u2014both at home and abroad\u2014to promote moderation and mutual respect. Online abuse and reckless insults, such as referring to revered Yoruba figures like Wole Soyinka in derogatory terms, must cease. I was stunned to read a young Igbo man referring to Soyinka as a \u201cgbajue professor.\u201d Such incivility wounds the national psyche and deepens mistrust.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, Tinubu must speak frankly to Yoruba communities\u2014especially indigenes of Lagos. Being a host comes with responsibility, not superiority. You cannot sell your land willingly, spend the proceeds on indulgent lifestyles, and then resent those who invested and built on that land. You cannot eat your cake and still have it. If you admire the success of others, emulate their work ethic and community spirit\u2014don\u2019t scapegoat them.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, fault lines are cracking elsewhere. In the North, Muslim-Christian tensions are rising.<\/p>\n<p>The once-cohesive Fulani-Hausa alliance is showing strain. In the South, Yoruba-Igbo relations are fraying. In the Niger Delta, some groups are rejecting the inclusion of Igbos in the Biafra narrative. Even among the Yoruba, there is growing resentment against the idea of \u201cgiving everything to Lagos,\u201d while some Lagosians disparage non-indigenous Yoruba (\u201cara oke\u201d) who\u2019ve found success in the city.<\/p>\n<p>Nigeria is a house divided\u2014and unless urgent steps are taken, it may not stand much longer. The crisis in Rivers State has stirred new waves of resentment in the Niger Delta. Everywhere, identity-based fault lines are deepening.<br \/>President Tinubu must not be complacent. If Nigeria fractures, history will not remember his economic policies or political victories. It will remember that the house collapsed under his watch.<\/p>\n<p>The task before him is urgent and non-transferable: call your boys to order, heal old wounds, unite the nation, and rise above petty politics. This is not a job for committees or proxies. Only bold, visionary leadership can pull Nigeria back from the brink.<br \/><strong>The window is closing.
