Ignore hate, tribalism – Peter Obi on Igbo lady’s threat to poison Yorubas, Edo people

Former Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi has condemned the Nigerian lady based in Canada, Amaka Sunnberger who called for the poisoning of Yorubas and Benin people.

Obi urged Nigerians to unite and not allow tribalism and hate tear them apart.

Sunnberger’s threats against Yoruba and Edo people in Canada on TikTok.

Reacting, Obi posted on X: “I utterly condemn the reported hateful statement and actions attributed to a Nigerian woman living in Canada against other Nigerians of diverse origins. Such divisive comments or behaviour have no place in our society.

“As Nigerians, we should unite and focus on addressing our shared challenges, rather than allowing tribalism and hate to tear us apart.

“I have consistently stood against the polarisation of our country along tribal, religious or political lines.

“What does a nation achieve through tribal or religious bigotry? Does it contribute positively to development, by fixing our numerous health, education challenges, and pulling people out of poverty? Does it reduce the price of bread, rice, garri or yam in the market?”
