2023 Polls: Igbos under attack in Lagos – Ohanaeze tells Tinubu, Sanwo-Olu

Apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has condemned the reported attack on the people of South-East resident in Lagos.

DAILY POST reports that several videos currently circulating on social media show several youths being attacked by thugs where they had gone to obtain their Permanent Voters’ Cards, PVCs.

They could be heard wailing in the video that despite closing shops for that purpose, some hired thugs had prevented them from obtaining the card.

Some Igbo youths sustained injuries in the process.

Reacting through a statement by its President-General, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide said Ndigbo should not be pushed beyond the walls.

“We have already been pushed to the walls, what they are doing now amounts to pushing Ndigbo beyond the walls and the consequences could be drastic.

“The two major political parties in the country cannot deny the South-East presidential ticket and at the same time deny them the opportunity to exercise their franchise. This is a call for total anarchy in the land and we are urging the security agencies to rise to the occasion,” Okwu said.

He called on the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu and the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu “to call their people to order.”
