What Happen In Lagos Was A War On Lagosians, Yoruba People Were Beaten By Thugs – Rhodes-Vivour
Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the Labour Party’s candidate for governor in Lagos State, has once more cast doubt on the results of the elections that saw Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the outgoing governor, win re-election.Recall that social media was flooded with videos of voter intimidation and election violence during the recently concluded election.The leader of the Labour Party, who has frequently questioned the validity of the recently concluded elections in Lagos State, claimed in an interview with Arise that the election was like a war being declared against the state’s citizens.No matter how hard people try to change the story, he claimed, they won’t be able to hide the fact that thugs attacked and beat up Yoruba people in the Ikoyi axis of the state.In some instances, such as the Victoria Garden City (VGC) in Lagos, what transpired suggests that INEC itself was involved in the entire process, according to Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour.“I want to know that we’ve done everything in our power to ensure that by 2027, we would have a peaceful election in Lagos state. No matter how they try to spin it or muddy the waters, what happened in Lagos was a war on Lagosians. Thugs and hooligans who entered the area in ikoyi beat up Yoruba residents there. You can examine what transpired in VGC as well. INEC’s involvement in this process needs to be addressed.”
