In Rivers State, Obi’s Supporters Stopped From Voting, Lagos Too

By Charles Igbo

Obviously based on instructions, allegedly,  given by Governor Nyesom Wike, voters are being chased out if “You want to vote for Peter Obi” in Rivers State.

The same scene is being played out, openly, in some areas in Lagos State where Nigerians of Igbo extraction are being prevented from voting.

In Fehintola Giwa Street, Aguda, the gate to voting centres were locked, while one man stood, telling voters:,”If you no fit vote for APC, go your house. Here na APC. Nobody force you come for here.”

And it was the same thing in  Okota, Ikate Elugishi, Lekki suburbs.  At one polling station, one man threatened,  before Security Agencies: ” I am here if you say you be Igbo, Igbo born you, come here and vote let me see you.”

At Ikate Elugushi, Lagos, the Oba came out and asked the voters to go because he couldn’t recognize their faces as those who live in the area.

The most disturbing is Rivers State where voters who “are here to vote for Obi, will not be allowed to vote.”

At Unit 18, Rumigbo, voters were physically attacked, and told: “If you want to vote for Peter Obi, go home.”

That was followed by chasing them away.
