Peter Obi condemns woman who threatened to poison Yorubas and Edo natives in Canada

Former presidential candidate of the Labour Party at the last election, Peter Obi has condemned the statement by Amaka Patience Sonnberger, a Canada-based Nigerian woman who threatened to po!son Yorubas and Edo natives in Canada.

Amaka Patience Sonnberger and her fellow compatriots were having a discussion on a TikTok space when she made the threat.

According to her, other tribes have marginalized Igbos enough and it is time for them to be eradicated. The woman who resides in Ontario threatened to start poisoning the meals of her Yoruba colleagues at work.

Taking to X, the former Labour Party presidential candidate, described Amaka’s comments as ”divisive,” adding that such behaviour has no place in Nigerian society.

“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.

Does it improve our transportation system or enhance the electricity supply? Does it ensure good governance? The answer is a resounding NO!! Our priority should be to move Nigeria forward, regardless of tribe or religion.

We, as Nigerians, must live together in peace and love, and ensure that we enthrone leaders based on integrity, competence, consistency, capacity, character and compassion, so as to overcome our present challenges and move the country forward in the right direction.

Let us focus on what truly matters: building a prosperous, united, and equitable Nigeria for all. We must reject tribalism and religious division, and embrace our shared humanity, working together towards a new Nigeria that is POssible! -PO”
