He added that many of them only paint Lagos base on political agenda to bring it down.

Tokunbo said: “The deliberate efforts by a handful of individuals to tarnish the reputation of Lagos State are deeply concerning.

“It is regrettable that some who relocate from their home states in pursuit of better opportunities quickly, in less than a month or two, resort to disparaging the very state that has provided them the platform to thrive.

“Leveraging social media followings, these individuals propagate harmful narratives, often aligned with divisive agendas, undermining the progress and inclusivity that Lagos represents.

“While constructive criticism is essential for growth, malicious attempts to vilify a state that empowers countless lives daily are counterproductive.

“Lagos remains a place of opportunity, innovation, and resilience, and it is imperative that we collectively uphold its integrity while fostering unity and progress.

“Dear @scott_iguma I do hope that you will put this same energy in ‘looking out’ for other states. I wish you all the best!”
