*Political Violence:Afenifere Condemns Attacks on Ndigbo in Lagos*

Afenifere condemns in the strongest terms the political violence visited on Nigerians of Ndigbo extraction in Lagos during the Saturday Presidential elections.

Dirty political merchants and their band of thugs apart from engineering political disenfranchisement of Ndigbo,went ahead to visit violence on them and burning their votes en masse.

The political vandals they used were said to have been calling themselves OPC but our checks with the genuine leaders of the group have shown that the deragend elements had no affiliation with the OPC known by Afenifere.

We frown seriously at the failure of the security agencies to give adequate cover to Ndigbo in the affected communities as these thugs went berserk carrying out the instructions of their sinking political godfathers.

We want to assure our Igbo Brothers and Sisters that the bond of friendship the Afenifere and Ohanaeze Ndigbo have built particularly under the dynamic leadership of Chief John Nwodo remains strong and will not be broken by the nefarious activities of a few strange children in our midst.
We are already in discussions with Ndigbo leadership on the matter and we appeal for calm as these political vandals are only engaged in death kicks .
We call on the security agencies to give adequate security covers to Ndigbo in subsequent elections as we encourage them not to succumb to intimidation and harassment by political vampires .
Our historical connectivity with Ndigbo will survive the Saturday madness and the perpetrators will be shamed eternally.

National Publicity Secretary.

Moderators, can you please push to front-page to calm frayed nerves?

Not only Afenifere, all Yoruba condemned the attacks on Ndigbo.

Irrespective of party affiliation, they are still our brothers.

Every Nigerian deserve to exercise their franchise in peace

",strange children' in their midst are bittered and pained with the level of support PDP got in the SW..

Tgey "ibos" should be careful , what ive read on twitter and fb indicates some yoruba might likely shee fun the ibos in reprisal

Yorubas Are the best

Some Igbo people were happy they nearly killed an OPC Yoruba man as if they can handle the violence which no one pray for.

The masses have spoken, we understand the trend in Yoruba land only the touts with tinubu their oga is supporting buhari.

That's not what I heard. I heard they rushed him to the hospital and paid his bill even when his Yoruba brothers left him and ran away.
Peace not fight
