“For security reasons, El-Rufai was swiftly whisked away after protesters declared he had no moral standing to lecture in a citadel of Igbo heritage, citing his past role as a stakeholder in chaos and hate campaigns against Ndigbo.”

The former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi was however warned to desist from using the platform for his “political desperation”.

Peter Obi is from Anambra State in the South East, Nigeria
