…By Larry John for TDPel Media. Former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Olabode George, has threatened to ban President-elect Bola Tinubu’s media aide, Bayo Onanuga, from Lagos State.
This follows Onanuga’s post after the last governorship election, where he asked Igbos never to get involved in Lagos State politics.
In reaction, George accused Onanuga of fanning the embers of war with his anti-Igbo comments and condemned the ethnic profiling of Igbo people.
George further disclosed that Lagos elders, irrespective of political affiliation, will meet to restore the Lagos culture.
The Importance of Cultural Diversity in Lagos State
George’s response highlights the importance of cultural diversity in Lagos State and the need to promote unity and inclusiveness.
Lagos State is home to people from different ethnic backgrounds and cultures, and it is crucial to foster an environment that respects and appreciates these differences.
George’s condemnation of ethnic profiling against Igbo people shows his commitment to promoting unity and inclusiveness in Lagos State.
Additionally, his call for Lagos elders to come together to restore the Lagos culture shows that the state’s culture is an essential aspect of its identity and must be protected.
The Role of Political Leaders in Promoting Inclusiveness
George’s reaction to Onanuga’s post shows that political leaders have a role to play in promoting inclusiveness and protecting cultural diversity.
Political leaders should always strive to promote unity and inclusiveness and avoid comments or actions that may undermine these values.
Additionally, they should be willing to condemn actions or statements that promote ethnic or cultural discrimination, as seen in George’s reaction to Onanuga’s post.
Conclusion
Olabode George’s threat to ban Bayo Onanuga from Lagos State underscores the importance of promoting inclusiveness and respecting cultural diversity.
It also highlights the role of political leaders in promoting unity and inclusiveness and protecting the cultural identity of Lagos State.
As Lagos continues to evolve and grow, it is essential to promote a culture of inclusiveness and respect for diversity to ensure the state’s continued success.
