It is also important to point out that the Obidient Movement is quite different from the Labour Party and its members are attached to Labour because their candidate, Peter Obi, is on the party platform and flying its flag. If Obi were in another political party, that is where they would be also. It is also important to interrogate how seriously the federal government takes ethnic hate profiling against Ndigbo, particularly in Lagos in recent times. Recall that Biafra was declared a republic in 1967, essentially because erstwhile Biafrans felt they were no longer safe or needed in Nigeria. It took a genocidal war to force them back to Nigeria.
