A post allegedly showing Governor Alex Otti criticizing Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu over the demolition of Igbo-owned properties at the Trade Fair Complex sparked heated reactions online. Though the authenticity of the statement is still unverified, the comment section quickly turned tribal.
One user wrote, “The Governors of Southeast are slaves,” implying that southeastern leaders are submissive or powerless compared to others. This kind of comment is highly divisive, as it shifts focus from the real issue — whether demolitions were just or not — to tribal mockery and regional inferiority narratives. Such statements deepen ethnic resentment and discourage constructive dialogue on governance and fairness.
