Ardent supporters of the Labour Party Presidential flag bearer, Peter Obi, were allegedly attacked in Osodi, Lagos on Sunday when they displayed the party’s flag.
A supporter of Obi who styled himself Obi Flag Boy on Twitter takes pictures around Lagos with Peter Obi’s/Labour Party’s flag and posts this on social media.
His attempt to do this in Osodi nearly turned tragic as area boys pounced on him and his photographer and beat them to a stupor.
A Twitter user, Akin Olaoye @akintollgate brought his plight to the platform, with a video of the Obi Flag Boy narrating his experience.
He wrote: “@ObiFlagboy narrating the brutality he suffered at the hands of thugs along with a number of park officials in Oshodi. We call on the @PoliceNG to investigate this issue and bring the perpetrators to book. Freedom of Association is a right owed to every Nigerian.
Violence of any form should be tolerated in our politics as a Nation. For Democracy to thrive, fear and intimidation cannot be promoted by the ruling party or even an opposition party, regardless of State or Region.”
Watch his narrative below.
