Nigeria’s Ruling APC Used Political Thugs To Suppress Igbo Votes In Lagos by iwaeda: 8:23am On Apr 25
The United States Government has concluded that the ruling Bola Tinubu-led All Progressives Congress sponsored thugs to intimidate and suppress voters in Igbo-dominated areas in Lagos State during the March 18, 2023 governorship election. .

The U.S. Department of State disclosed this in its ‘2023 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices: Nigeria,’ published on its website on Tuesday.

According to the U.S. government, following the victory of Peter Obi of the Labour Party at the February 25, 2023 presidential polls, the ruling party hired thugs to deny Igbo votes for Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, in favour of incumbent governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who was then seeking a second term in office.

They were claiming Lagos is their own and they were expecting pankere not to land on their backs?

0koro Chinedu Martins, Chukwunonso Paul, Obinna Ekechukwu and co should go to court

They did worse than that in the SE, the videos are everywhere.

They will vote their own tribesman but when other vote theirs, na tribalism.

They will prevent people from voting for someone who is not from their region but when people from other regions reciprocate they will start wailing as if say dem swear for them to dey wail.

Nonsense talk!

Must u overpopulate Lagos votes like Lagos isn't any Igbo State rubbish.

Go and vote in the East and win gubernatorial election there not coming here to do rubbish. U guys are not the only non indigenes I don't understand why is U everytime complaining about allowing U do that do this.

Many non Yorubas and non indigenes of Lagos live here peacefully for decades I haven't heard where an Hausa man dragging governorship of Lagos with the Yorubas or the indigenous people of Lagos.

During last election, you guys exposed urself about ur intentions and scheming in the State simply because U were allowed to flourish U feels the next line of action is displace the rightful host. Typical Igbo!

Now you saw what Ur dominating attitude has done to U in Lagos. U have by implication destroyed the trust and little love enjoyed by Ur folks because Lagos won't lose sleep over Ur matter not anymore

The Southeast also uses violence while the North use child vote.

ELECTIONS AND POLITICAL PARTICIPATION
Abuses or Irregularities in Recent Elections: National elections were widely reported to have reflected the will of voters, despite technical and logistical difficulties, and some irregularities. Many independent observers assessed the results of the presidential, legislative, and state-level elections during the year reflected the will of voters, despite reports of voter suppression and vote buying, campaigning at polling stations, lack of ballot secrecy, violence, and intimidation. During the March 18 state election in Lagos, All Progressives Congress (APC) supporters reportedly intimidated and suppressed voters in Igbo-dominated areas, which Labour Party presidential candidate and ethnically Igbo Peter Obi won in the February 25 national election. Viral videos on social media showed APC supporters in Ojo threatening to attack ethnic Igbo voters presumed to be pro-Obi. In Eti-Osa, APC supporters also attacked journalists and, in some cases, shut down voting and prevented non-Yoruba voters from accessing polls. They similarly destroyed property and physically blocked voters in Amuwo-Odofin. According to videos posted on social media, police officers were present but failed to respond to attacks. There was no evidence that alleged perpetrators were arrested or prosecuted.

Although elections are over we must investigate the root cause of the unending hatred between tribes in Nigeria and eliminate it. It has lingered for too long.

I bother myself with certain questions, for one, where was Africa when the Europeans made ships? Guns? Canons? Planes? Rockets? Computers? My guess is stuck in a whirlpool of trivial tribal rivalry.

Even now, It’s quite disheartening to read asinine remarks from the new generation. ‘Non indigenes shouldn’t vote in my state’ but Nigerians vote in foreign elections. Where did this callosity come from?

I’ve always wondered why a person (non indigene) whose whole life’s investment (academic, social, business etc) is based in a state will wish the state destruction. There’s no plausible intent.

Why should a Yoruba or Ibo man living with his family in Abuja or kaduna, heck even France, be silent about an environmental/robbery/taxation problem in his current vicinity and be more concerned about similar problems in a distant hometown just because he is a non-indigene. Is voting no longer a social instrument for expression of interests in a democracy?

Where your treasure is there lies your heart. A house divided cannot stand.
