The De-Renaissance Patriots Foundation has raised alarm over what it described as the growing political marginalisation and systemic disenfranchisement of indigenous Lagosians, calling on the Lagos State and Federal Governments, National Assembly, and international community to intervene in what it termed “a crisis threatening Nigeria’s democratic and federal structure.”
In a strongly worded statement issued on Wednesday, the group rejected a proposed constitutional amendment currently before the National Assembly, which seeks to redefine indigeneship based on birth, residency, or marriage instead of ancestral lineage.
